Do you think that you could hike over 4,000 miles in 55 days? The Nile river is the longest river the the whole world measuring over 4,000 miles. That’s a very long hike. That is like hiking from STL to Seattle and back. For the Ancient Egyptians traveling up and down this long river was a way of life. The Nile shaped Ancient Egypt in at least 3 ways. The Nile ba provided precious water in a vast desert for sustaning crops, provided transportation for trade, and provided hope in an afterlife.
Did you know that if the Nile didn’t flood it could starve the Egyptians? Since the Nile flooded in Akhet (flooding season) it put down fertilizer that the Egyptians could use in Peret (planting and growing seaon)
