Ancient Egypt, the Gift of the Nile -- mrdowling.com Like a giant snake, the Nile River slithers through some of the driest desert land on earth to create a narrow green valley. The ancient Greeks called this land Egypt. For more than five thousand years, famous and often mysterious civilizations thrived along the banks of the Nile. About 450BCE, a Greek historian named Herodotus called Egypt the “Gift of the Nile” because the Egyptian civilization depended on the resources of the great river. Every spring, the snow on the mountains of East Africa melted, sending a torrent of water that overflowed the banks of the Nile and flooded the river valley. The rushing river picked up bits of soil and plant life called silt. The Nile made it possible for the people of ancient Egypt to form the first nation in history. The Nile no longer overflows its banks because modern Egyptians built a huge dam in Aswan. Download this lesson as Microsoft Word file or as an Adobe Acrobat file.
