History - Ancient Egypt - River Nile
19 Oct 2015
We did some research and found facts about the
River Nile in Egypt.
Did you know ...The River Nile is about 6,670 km (4,160 miles) in length and is the longest river in Africa and in the world.
The ancient Egyptians lived and farmed along the Nile, using the soil to produce food for themselves and their animals.
Most Egyptians lived near the Nile as it provided water, food, transportation and excellent soil for growing food.
Why does the Nile not flood now ?
The construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960's meant that from 1970 the annual flood was controlled.
