On page 136 in paragraph 1, the text states, "This two-way travel made visiting and trading easier." Another piece of evidence comes from page 137 in paragraph 4, the text says, "Inundation was followed by Emergence, the time when the land emerged once more from beneath the water. As this season began, farmers planted their crops." The first piece of evidence that supports my claim helps me explain that the Nile River is important because it makes visiting and trading easier. This makes the Nile River important. The second piece of evidence helps the Egyptians by helping the crops grow. This is a major source of importance for the Nile River.

On page 137 in the textbook, it says, "The Nile was the 'giver of life', but life was not easy for the ancient Egyptians." Even though the river brought life and hapiness to the people there, it also caused hardships. If it didn't rain enough or rained too much, the river would not provide fertile soil for the crops or completely flood the whole lands, respectively. The civilians learned how to use the water, river, and flooding to their advantage, and even used it to create a calendar. When the Nile flooded, they would give gifts to the gods, specifically the god Hapi, and have huge celebrations in Hapi's honor. They planned the calendar around the flooding and harvest times, which lead to the calendars we have today.

Basically, the whole life of Ancient Egyptians relied on the Nile. In the book on page one hundred thirty five it stated, that the Nile is the givers of life. For example, the river carried silt to the farms in the inundation season, it brought people together to make innovations, and was a "highway" for travelers in boats. These were all significant to the everyday life of an Ancient Egyptian.

The river helped the people with food, water, money, transportation, trade, and freindship. Egypts civilization thrived around the river, and I can tell you why.

FOOD- the river gave the Egyptians water for there crops. It made there soil rich, and there food delish. With out the river, there wouldn't be rich soil, and without good soil, no crops, which means NO FOOD! The river helped with there food.

TRANSPORTATION- the river helped transport the Egyptians get across the river. It says on page 135-136 of the textbook, "All year round, reed or wooden sailboats traveled on the Nile. Boats going downriver could use the current to travel North. Boats sailing upriver relied on Egypt's steady north wind to go against the current. This two-way travel made visiting and trading easier." They were able to trade to make better items, and they were able to bring the civilization together. 

RELIGION- the river also played a part in there religion. It says on pg 139, From this blossom came the sun god Re. Re then created the other gods and the world as Egyptians knew it." Also later in the page, " The Egyptians prayed to their gods and believed in a life after death, or afterlife." The Egyptians made gods from the Nile. They prayed for an after life, and good harvests. The Nile gave leaders power, which would be different without the Nile.

CIVILIZATION- the river helped bring everyone together. It says so on page 135, "The Nile also helped bring together to form a single society." That may be a short sentence, but it tells us a lot. The Nile helped Egypt come together to face droughts and floods. They needed this river to make crops, which provides as money and food. They needed this river.

That is why I think the Nile was important. Without the Nile, Egypt would be lost. It provided them food, water, money, trading, and friendship. With out the Nile the Egyptians wouldn't survive. That is why I think the Nike is important.

Pg: 135 paragraph #2 on the Nile river the author mentions,"It affected all Egyptian activities, including farming, religious beliefs, and ways of governing". The Nile river spreads very far in Egypt said to be the largest river or one of, it gives the Egyptians an extra water source before drought by trapping water in ponds during a flood. It also give nutrients to plants 🌱 when they start to bloom/and or blossom giving them there food supply, it also gives them fresh water from the river stream. The Nile river in my opinion comes up to the name "giver of life" and with all of the work and effort to control the water supply and to use it to their advantage it really has brought together the Egyptians and in that is why my opinion states the it helps the Egyptian society and instead of a burden it being a bless.]]> 2018-01-24 21:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/291022/uskdwez8ac4l/wish/224455715 1503091 https://padlet.com/291022/uskdwez8ac4l/wish/224455725 The Nile river is important to the Egyptians because it provided lots of their resources. In the textbook on the page 137 the author states, "During inundation the land was made new again with silt from the flood waters that covered the farmland." The Egyptians used the floods, to reproduce the crops they were growing. They could also use the river to travel places, other people from places beside Egypt would want to travel too so those people would have to pay Egypt to go across the part of their river, so the Nile was a way for the Egyptians to get rich. ]]> 2018-01-24 21:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/291022/uskdwez8ac4l/wish/224455725 1442771 https://padlet.com/291022/uskdwez8ac4l/wish/224455736 The Nile river provided mass amounts of food to the Egyptians. On pg 137 an ancient Egyptian farmer states " It is to be a beautiful year, free from want and rich in all herbs". First this part says " free from want" I believe the farmer is trying to say that from the Nile river providing rich soil the Egyptians don't have to worry about food. Second it clearly states " rich in all herbs " which says they had all the food they needed. That is why I believe the Nile river was important to provideing mass amounts of food.]]> 2018-01-24 21:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/291022/uskdwez8ac4l/wish/224455736 149310 https://padlet.com/291022/uskdwez8ac4l/wish/224455800   I believe that the Nile River was very important to Ancient Egyptian Civilization. I believe this because the Ancient Egyptians gave it the nickname, "Giver if Life". I also believe this because the river provided them with the idea to use the river as a river highway, so they built boats. 
 The Ancient Egyptians sometimes called the Nile River, "Giver of Life". On page 135 of our textbook, it states, "The Nile River was thought to be the 'giver of life' for the ancient Egyptians. It affected all Egyptian activities, including farming, religious beliefs, and ways of governing. The Nile also also helped bring together the peoples who lived along its banks.".

Because of the Nile River, the Egyptians developed a successful calander. The Nile flooded once a year, and the farmers could predict when it would happen. In the book on page 137 it says "The yearly flood, or inundation, took place at about the same time each year."

A reason being that "The Nile was a "giver of life."" Meaning to me that it provided life for the Egyptians. In addition to providing live they could also create tomb for their pasted pharaohs, calendars, and Their own writing to record data and more.

On page 136 it states that the problems that the Egyptians had with the Nile brought them together. When the river overflowed the right amount, it gave the Egyptian's crops water. The Nile also gave the Egyptians a way to travel to other places that were otherwise unaccsesible due to the vast deserts.

Another reason why the Egyptians relied on the Nile river brought the nation-states to peace. It also was used to get to other places fast to get resources.

Here are some examples:
Crops- the Nile river made the soil rich and fertile which helped the ancient Egyptians get food to eat and food to sell which helped them make money.137 paragraph 5
Travel- the currents in the Nile helped push the boats upriver or downriver . Which made traveling easier. 136 paragraph 1
Time/date- The yearly flooding or inundation helped tell the Egyptians when the begging of the year is. It also signaled the start of the 3 seasons: Inundation, Emergence, and Harvest. 137 paragraph 4
Religion- the gods believed the Nile was important to there religion. They used stories about the gods to explain natural events.

Egypt has the longest river in the world running through it. This river has the nickname "The giver of life" the reason they called it this was because it was their main source of food, water, and money. The river was a great thing to have around when it came to agriculture and water. In the article "The importance of the Nile River", it says that "this two way travel made visiting and trading easier." Ever year around April they would have agreat  flood they called "Inundation." That knew that they would have to ban together to find a way to make the flood easier to live through. They made a series of dams and ponds to contain the water. They based their seasons off of when the inundation was, once it was over they knew that it would be imergence soon when they could plant their crops, next came harvest when they would harvest their crops for the later months.
