Egypt and the River Nile
Egypt is a very hot, dry country. It was hot and dry in ancient times, too. The only place crops grew was along the banks of the River Nile. This is because, in ancient times, the river flooded each year from July to October. 
The ancient Egyptians called this time the 'inundation'. When the water went down, it left behind a thick layer of 
fertile mud. The mud soon dried into a soil that crops grew well in.

The Egyptian Period
The Nile was also the easiest way to travel around Egypt. It could take twelve days to sail from Elephantine to the sea . It only took seven days to go back because the wind was behind you pushing you along. 

The Ancient Egyptian period began in 3100 BC. All the people living along the River Nile were united under one ruler, a pharaoh. 
In 30 BC the Romans took over and ruled Egypt from Rome. There were no more pharaohs.

Slide 16 - Open vraag

SOURCE A 
(all difficult words are in the wrts list)


Lord of the fish, he sends the birds flying south as he rises, 
He is father to the barley and the wheat. 
If he is slow to rise, people hold their breath,  
They grow fierce as food runs out and many starve. 
When the flooding is low, greed stalks the land, 
Rich and poor both wander the roads, homeless. 
Yet when the river rises, sparkling, the land rejoices, 
Every stomach will be filled. 

From a hymn to Hapi, god of the River Nile, written about 2020 BC.
