Question
Answer the following question briefly:
Why is the Egyptian Civilisation called the Gift of the Nile?
Advertisements
Solution
The Egyptian civilisation flourished on the banks of the river Nile. Without the River Nile Egypt would have been a desert and an uninhabited region. There is hardly any rainfall in Egypt. The alluvial soil deposited by Nile makes the region fertile. Therefore, the Egyptian civilisation is called the gift of the Nile.
