Early Human Advancement In Ancient Egypt

The Nile River was a great contributing factor in the development of early Egypt. It is the country’s longest running river, and runs right through Egypt.

ient Egypt was an established civilization of Northeastern Africa. Located near the lower half of the Nile River, it was an extremely sophisticated civilization for its time. The Egyptians were especially intelligent in agriculture and infrastructure. They had pyramids and temples, that were places of worship and used for religious matter. Basic buildings that were used for things like banking and irrigations systems used to control flooding. The Egyptians were able to adjust and modify to their natural surroundings as well. By predicting the flood of the Nile River, they were able to stimulate agriculture and maintain their population. They were also pioneers in a number of new technologies; some of which are highly used today.  Much of

Ancient Egypt was an advanced civilization throughout their time. This is considering that Ancient Egypt had most or all indicators of civilization.Showing it is an advanced civilization about 3100 B.C.E or during their time. Several indicators are government, religion, social classes, cities, and record keeping.

No civilization would be able to grow without help from natural features. The Nile, the Indus, and the Euphrates are just rivers, yet they have an unparalleled effect on the surrounding civilizations. By providing water for countless people and animals, they are the lifeblood of lands that lack other water sources or ways to travel. Beyond that, they provide the resources needed to maintain a thriving economy and a rich culture. For example, the Ancient Egyptians had no choice but to incorporate the Nile into their culture because it was their only meaningful water source, and the main thing keeping them alive. The Egyptians' total dependence on the Nile allowed it to affect every part of Egypt all throughout the country's growth. The Nile shaped Egypt by supporting its economy, influencing its settlements, and developing its culture.

Egypt’s geographic characteristics that affect the development of human society were the Nile River. The Nile River made the ability of a large population in a desert region. Also, the Nile would flood bringing rich soil to the lower regions of the rivers course. The crops in this area did well and the flooding helped set a steady schedule for planting and harvesting and because of this the societies remained stable and had extra time to develop art and science in their culture. The people of Egypt also had access to some of the largest quantities of stone such as granite. This began the development and building of pyramids instead of mud buildings. The Nile River played a huge role in the development of Egypt.

1. The thing that distinguishes Homo sapiens from the other Homo genus’, would have to be their ability to think and produce symbols that enabled them to communicate with one another. Homo sapiens were the first to bury their dead, and are the closest “extinct cousins of modern- day humans”. Homo habilis , which was the first (“tool – making human”) to make the first stone and bone tools, which were made to skin and chop animal flesh. Homo habilis made tools not weapons, they were scavengers who ate solely off the land. They gathered fruits , grains , and whatever else they

These four points were all very big factors in why Ancient Egypt flourished and was rich and successful. The Nile River allowed Ancient Egyptians to feed their crops, meaning they could survive in the extreme temperatures of the desert. This is because the Nile provided Ancient Egyptians fertile growing silt when it flooded Egypt, but also the water that was carried in the river’s body. The planting, harvesting

The Nile River was the life force of ancient Egypt. People from all over the region immigrated to the area for its irrigation waters and rich silt deposits. The geography of the region played a huge role in the way the inhabitants and civilization in general was formed. The main core of Egypt covered 386, 560 square miles, of which only 11, 720 were cultivable (Tignor et al., Worlds Together, 62). The Nile differed itself specifically from the Tigris and Euphrates in that its waters did not irrigate or fertilize nearly as well but it did create green belts along the water. This created a society that flourished along the river. The Nile unlike Mesopotamia did not have a bountiful borderland but did have a desert rich in materials. The Niles predictability as the source of life and abundance shaped the character of the people and their culture. (Tignor et al., Worlds Together, 63). The Nile was peaceful and calm unlike the vicious Tigris And Euphrates Rivers. Egypt with its natural borders, which included the Mediterranean Sea, Deserts, and Large Waterfalls, was very isolated. This helped to achieve

Ancient Egypt would not have been able to survive without the Nile River. The Nile was the lifeline of ancient Egypt and without it, there wouldn't have been any possible way to build a successful civilization. The Nile gave ancient Egyptians materials, food, and a form of transportation. Without the Nile, the ancient Egyptians could not have been able to farm because there would be almost no fertile soil.

The Nile shaped Egypt by influencing its geography, popular distribution, and settlements. The majority of settlements in Ancient Egypt were located around the Nile River Delta (Doc. A), where land was fertile, trade was good, and there were many natural resources. Because of geography in this civilization, Egyptians could easily protect and defend themselves, as well as settle down and have good lives.

Writing about myself has always been awkward. Retelling my personal stories hasn’t been easy for me either. But here I go.

Around 7000 B.C.E. the Nile River was a gift to the Ancient Egyptians. The Nile is located in Africa and is the longest river in the world. The surrounding area is mostly arid desert and mountains. However, the Nile gave a water source, which would flood and move silt onto the land making the land very fertile. The Egyptian cities were able to develop due to the the Nile giving a natural defense among enemies, a natural irrigation system, and the predictability of flooding.

The earth seems is drying up in certain areas of the world at the moment. We have already seen some of the hottest summers on record in the last decade. Summer 2016 was the hottest summer on record since the records were started back in 1880 (Doyle, 2016). The effects of this heat have manifested themselves as drought in areas of the western United States. One of those areas happens to be our home of Southern California. Water resources have slowly declined and conservation has been the key tool to battle the decline. In an effort to find new ways of conserving or creating fresh water supplies, technology has been called upon. The need for technology that can help us meet our fresh water demands becomes more important every day. One of the technologies that has gotten a lot of attention recently is desalination. In fact a large scale desalination plant was just opened in Carlsbad, Ca. The facility is capable of delivering 50 million gallons per day (MGD) (Bienkowski, 2015). Despite this impressive achievement the plant still only accounts for 8% of the total water demand in San Diego County (CDP, 2016). In this paper I will explain the process of desalination, identify a promising new technology, and provide a comparison of technologies.

The United States is currently a country that is fairly diverse. In the near future the U.S. is projected to have no racial or ethnic group as it majority. As a result of this change our country would officially be a multicultural society. This change would bring some challenges as well as some advantages for some people.

The Nile River is 4,187 miles long. It is also the longest river in the world. It is important to the Ancient Egyptian people because it provides them with a source of food and transportation. They grew wheat, barley, and flax along the river. They also grew papyrus which was used to make the first paper. The Nile River allowed them to trade with other countries and civilizations for resources that they did not have. The Nile was very useful for the Egyptians farming. They would open the flood gates to let water in during the dry season. This allowed them to control irrigation. They also counted on the natural flooding of the river to water their crops. They developed the first 365-day calendar to track the flooding of the Nile. It is because of the Nile River that Ancient Egypt grew into a prosperous civilization.
