Egypt is high in Africa, or rather, in the north of that continent. Its territory is almost an entire desert, the famous Sahara Desert. Due to its scorching sands, few people venture. Those who, for some reason, cross it travel on camels – animals that survive up to a week without drinking water.
As you may know, without water there is no life, and in Egypt there is only one river, the Nile. This single source of fresh water – which rises in central Africa, cuts across Egypt, has no tributaries and flows into the Mediterranean Sea – must be very special, don't you agree? That's right.
The ancient Egyptians made the best choice when they decided to live on the banks of the Nile River. The rains and water from the floods produced a super-fertile mud in the region, perfect for agriculture, where Egyptian society was able to develop.
