Chapter 4 Section 1- Geography and Ancient Egypt

Geography and Ancient Egypt The Big Idea The water, fertile soils, and protected setting of the Nile Valley allowed a great civilization to arise in Egypt around 3200 BC. Main Ideas Egypt was called the gift of the Nile because the Nile River gave life to the desert. Civilization developed along the Nile after people began farming in this region. Strong kings unified all of Egypt.

The Nile River brought life to Egypt and allowed it to thrive. Main Idea 1: Egypt was called the gift of the Nile because the Nile River gave life to the desert. The Nile River brought life to Egypt and allowed it to thrive. Biannual flooding of the Nile made farming possible.

Features of the Nile The Nile is the longest river in the world, with a distance of over 4,000 miles. Ancient Egypt included two regions, a southern and a northern region, that were given their names by their relation to the Nile. At several points, the rough terrain caused cataracts, or rapids, to form. The Nile divided into several branches, forming a delta, a triangular area of land made from soil deposited by a river

Ancient Egypt

The Floods of the Nile Little rain fell in the Egyptian desert, but the Nile flooded every year in the summer and fall. The Nile’s flooding coated the land around it with a rich silt that made the soil ideal for farming. Without the floods, people could never have farmed in Egypt.

The Nile provided both water and fertile soil for farming. Main Idea 2: Civilization developed along the Nile after people began farming in this region. The Nile provided both water and fertile soil for farming. Egypt’s location offered another advantage because it had natural barriers that made it hard to invade.

Nile Valley Canals were built to carry water to fields of wheat, barley, fruits, and vegetables. The Nile allowed farmers to raise animals such as cattle and sheep. The river also provided many types of fish to eat, and hunters trapped ducks and geese. Natural barriers made Egypt hard to invade. Desert in the west was too big and harsh to cross. Mediterranean and Red Sea provided protection from invasion. Cataracts in the Nile made it difficult to invade from the south.

Main Idea 3: Strong kings unified all of Egypt. According to tradition, Menes rose to power in Upper Egypt and unified the two kingdoms by taking control of Lower Egypt and by marrying a Lower Egyptian princess. Menes was probably Egypt’s first pharaoh, the title used by the rulers of Egypt. He also founded Egypt’s first dynasty, or series of rulers from the same family. The First Dynasty lasted for about 200 years and extended Egyptian territory southward along the Nile.
