Task 2

Q. What do you think Herodotus

meant when he called the
civilisations of ancient Egypt,
the gift of the Nile?
A. I think he would have meant
that they were lucky to have the
river, because they wouldnt have
rain at all so the river helped
them survive with growing crops
near the river and plantation
across the land. They wouldnt be
alive without it so its a life
saviour for Egypt. There were two
sides in Egypt red land and black
land the red land was the dessert
and black land was were the Nile

was and were crops and when the

Nile flooded a layer of rich, black
layer silt ( silt is small particles of
sand moving with the water).
