Whats an area of strengths for this blog?

What is an area of imporovment for this blog?

What was the Nile used for?

What animals were in the Nile? Which one caused most damage?

Extra!!!! Extra!!!!

I'm am so excited to tell you some extra information first off do you guys know who the god of Nile is? well my social studies teacher thought he knew but he was WRONG!!!! I just love it when the Internet proves teachers wrong it makes me feel accomplished, anyway the god of the Nile was Hapi. In 1968, the Aswan High Dam was built. This Dam ended the annual floods and trapped the Niles silt behind the Dam. This lake that is behind the Dam is Lake Nasser. Without regular deposits of silt, Egyptian farmers must use artificial fertilizers on their soil.

Cultures On The Nile

You might think there is only one type of people the Egyptians  live on the Nile, but you are wrong I'm going to tell you all different types of cultures of the Nile. Everybody knows the Egyptians DUH!! we are studying and doing research on them but they are not the only people that do live on the Nile. Now I want to talk to you7 people about the Badarian, they were stratified culture they live in (ca. 4400-4000). Based on the archaeological evidence found in the segregation and varying grave good between burials.

FLOOD!!!

OK I have been featuring alot of stuff about the Nile but know I'm going to mainly talk about the flood now. You know how I said the Nile helps Egyptians with fishing, hunting and water well now I want to focus on the FLOOD of the Nile. What the flood is, is it only comes once a year, your probably wondering why are people living there if there is a huge flood every year? What the flood does for the Egyptians is it fertiles their crops so they can live and eat.

Onward on The Nile

All this is probably believable but the way that the Egyptians used the Nile for fishing,sailing,travel, and to trade. Seance the flood of the Nile provides crops the Egyptians have grain harvest, such as wheat, barley, flax were main crops, I don't know what those grain harvest are besides wheat and wheat is yummy when you use it for a sandwich. Also, another thing water, the Nile provides water for all the Egyptians. See we drink out of the fresh but we don't have to walk all the way over to the lake or river, we just have to go to the refrigerator to get it.

The Creatures of The Nile

Like in mostly every lake, river, ocean their is fish in the Nile, I don't prefer it but the Egyptians catch fish for food EWWW!!!!. The main animal that most Egyptians fear of is the Hippopotamus, they are extinct now but back then in achient Egyptian times they were all over the Nile river. This is not a animal but its something that was also all over the Nile and that is capsizing boats and they also caused damage to all the crops. OK back to hippopotamuses they were a really good hunt for Pharaohs. For all the other dangerous animals in the Nile such as snakes, alligators and their is a rumor that their are Purana's in the Nile, that's weird because I always thought they were only in the Amazon river, anyway because of these dangerous animals the Egyptians man this contraption called the Shadurf, Egyptians use this to get water out of the Nile basically like irrigation, they used the shadurf because of all the dangerous animals in the Nile.

The Good Nile

The purpose of the Nile was not just to travel by land DUH!!!!, but by water. This helped Egyptians by helping their crops grow, this happened when their was a flood if I was in Egypt I would be like HOLY CRAP!!!!, but not the Egyptians they would cheer. When their is a flood is fertile their soil, this flood comes once a year. What would happen if their wasn't a flood and their crops don't grow? are they going to be able to go to a market NO!!! because the markets don't have crops either, so without the flood of the Nile the Egyptians might die of hunger OOH NO
