Description - Technology of the Ancient World: Ancient Egypt by M Solodky

Egyptian civilization never would have existed had it not been for the Nile River.When the first peoples settled in Egypt, the world's longest river - which flows from its sources in Ethiopia and Uganda to the Mediterranean Sea - was lined with lush valleys. The valleys provided a green oasis amid a desert region with little rainfall. Each year, the river flooded, irrigating the surrounding plains. When the waters receded, they left behind deposits of black silt that were rich with vitamins and minerals.
