In order to benefit from the Nile, Ancient Egyptian's lived along the banks of the Nile River and had to figure out how to cope with the river’s annual flooding. They also developed new skills and technology, from agriculture to boat and ship building. The Nile even played a role in the construction of the pyramids, the massive marvels that are among the most recognizable reminders of their civilization.  ]]> 2023-04-04 20:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/soc8withmissk/pcjem8dz7aibsvl6/wish/2544121453 Evynn https://padlet.com/soc8withmissk/pcjem8dz7aibsvl6/wish/2544121997 People lived in flat-roofed dwellings made out of mud bricks and were one to two storeys.

The mines they made were used as the main source for many buildings, like temples and pyramids. They made mastaba tombs for the comfort of the dead, the pyramids were made for the purpose of housing the tombs for the dead. They also made for metals and gemstones. The gemstones were used for accsessories like jewlery and the golden masks for the dead.

The name "Nile" comes from the Greek word for river valley "Nelios."  Ancient Egyptians called the Nile river Ar or Aur, meaining "black" a reference to the rich, dark grounds that the Nile's water carried from the top of Africa and dumped in Egypt as the river flooded its perimeter each year in late summer. 

A stream of water and nutrients turned the Nile Valley into productive farmland, and made it possible for Egyptian civilization to develop in the midst of a desert.

They also grew fruits that include: grapes, dates, figs, pomegranates, and melons. Honey was used as a sweetener for desserts. The Noble class were given wine that was processed by grapes, although beer was still a favourite of many. The diet of the Egyptians was fish, fowl and meat, but the peasants most likely only got these good on special occasions. Goats, pigs, and sheep were domesticated to be eaten.
