Why is Egypt called the
      Gift of the Nile?
                          
 The Nile River provides for Egypt in the following
  ways:
     Fertile soil
     Water for drinking, cooking, and watering crops
     Transportation
     River plants and animals
Egypt From Space
       
How did the Nile make land in
     the middle of a desert fertile?
                  
Every
 year, around
 the same
 date, the Nile
 would flood
 and cover the
 fields along
 its banks for
 about four
 months.
sediment
                    
 All rivers contain
  something called
  sediment.
 Sediment is
  decaying organic
  material that
  floats in the
  water.
sediment
                        
 After the Nile’s flooding
  ended and the river level
  returned to normal
  sediment would be left
  behind in the fields along
  its banks.
 This sediment acted as a
  natural fertilizer by
  replacing the nutrients that
  were sucked out of the soil
  by the last season’s crops.
How did the Egyptians move
  the water from the river?
                         
 They use irrigation
  canals to get the water
  from the river to their
  crops.
 To help with lifting the
  water they used a
  machine called a
  shadoof.
Transportation
                    
 The Nile served as the
  main transportation
  route in Egypt.
 Boats could sail from
  the Nile delta in the
  north to Aswan in the
  south.
Why couldn’t they sail
further south than Aswan?
               
The southern part of the Nile
 contains six cataracts that
 prevent boats from sailing past
 them.
What are cataracts?
             
 Cataracts are areas of
  the Nile that are very
  shallow and rocky.
 Some are
  rapids, meaning the
  water moves very
  quickly and violently
  through the rocky area.
Cataracts
Exactly
where are
they
located?
River Plants
              
The most
 important plant
 that the Nile
 provided to
 Egypt was
 papyrus.
The First Paper
                 
 The plant used to make the first paper is also called
  papyrus. To make the paper, the inner stalks of the
  plant were cut into narrow strips. The strips were
  cut to the same length and placed side by side by
  side in one layer. Another layer of strips was placed
  crosswise on top to form a sheet. Papyrus makers
  wet the sheet, pressed it flat, and dried it in the sun.
  Sap from the plant glued the strips together. Pasted
  side by side, the sheets formed a long strip that could
  be rolled up.
Papyrus

  
What are some animals that
can be found near the Nile?
                 
 Crocodile
 Hippopotamus
 Ostrich
 Falcon
 Baboons
 Ibis
 Jackal
Assessment
              
On a sheet of lined
 paper, completely answer the
 following questions:
 1. Why did civilization first develop in
    the area that we call Egypt?
 2. Why was the Nile River so
    important to life in Egypt?
