The Hymn Of The Nile

of water. The Nile river, the longest river in the world that can be found in Egypt is just that- a stream of water that deposits into the Mediterranean Sea. However, what the Nile river means now is totally different than what it meant hundreds of years ago. For the ancient Egyptians, it was more than just a river- the Nile river was their light in the darkness, their god- it was their culture. One reason it was their culture was because they focused their religion around the Nile. The Egyptians

properly analyze the meaning of the texts, it is necessary to recognize the background of the source. The author of Hymn to the Nile is unknown, but a reader can conclude that the writer is most likely an Egyptian. The Egyptian praises the Nile for the purpose of sharing the wonders of the Nile. He presents his argument to the Egyptians in the form of a poetic praise or hymn, stating that the Nile is “the creator of all good things” and supplies food for them such as fish and crops.

In Egypt, the Nile River creates a rich green valley across the desert. It was by the banks of the river that one of the oldest civilizations in the world began. The ancient Egyptians lived and farmed along the Nile, using the soil to produce food for themselves and their animals. Document A, a map of Egypt around 1500 BCE, was founded by multiple sources and was created in order to illustrate how the placement of the river was beneficial to the success of cities across Egypt. The creators of this

control. The real attributor of their ability to exist, lays squarely with the Nile. So much so that Egypt in its entirety, formed itself to compensate as well as to take advantage of the great waterway’s entirety. This phenomenon is especially evident in their religion, daily life and location of settlement. The influence the Nile had on their life’s shows just how dependent this renowned civilization was on the Nile. As an Egyptian, your life was morphed around the rivers ability to provide, if

in general was ideal for the Egyptians. Contrary to Mesopotamia, Egypt had the reliable Nile for constant irrigation as well as a location that was almost impossible to invade. Egyptians didn’t have to deal with warfare for some two thousand years. The Nile’s annual flood was so predictable that it provided the moisture needed to sustain life.

This paper compares civilization in the line of authority, both in religious and political spheres among the three groups; Mesopotamia, Nile in Egypt and Indus Valley (Mahenjodaro and Harrapa) in India. Mesopotamia Political organization The name Mesopotamia is derived from a Greek word that means the land between two rivers identified as Euphrates and Tigris in this case. Much of it is

Their civilisation was situated adjacent to the Nile River. Evidently, this allowed for the ancient Egyptians to transition into an agricultural lifestyle with relative ease, as stated by Marc Van De Mieroop “wherever its waters reaches the soil can be farmed; where it does not reach the earth is parched and it is impossible to grow anything on it.” This subsequently allowed the ancient Egyptians to begin farming with relative ease as the Nile River stretched some 6500 kilometres, which is more

smartest during that time at least. The Nile River that ran through Ancient Egypt was pretty much the god of Egypt because without the Nile there would be no Ancient Egypt. The real question is how the Nile shaped Ancient Egypt? The answer to that question is, the Nile made Egypt a better civilization. The source of that question would be in the text you are about to read. Egypt has a pretty solid economy along with strong trading post but then you have the Nile to trade down south. The Egyptians had

Without Civilizations we wouldn’t be as advanced as we are in todays society. A Civilization is “a relatively high level of cultural and technological development; specifically: the stage of cultural development at which writing and the keeping of written records is attained.” Humans in Early Civilization developed how to write, read, learn, understand religion, economics, politics, irrigation and how to create a civilization. The advancements made back then set foundation for society that we know
