Daily Life Along the Nile |
Description:
|
The
Nile is the longest river in the world,
stretching north for approximately 4,000 miles
from East Africa to the Mediterranean. The
fertile land, the river and the sea were the
source of life for
ancient Egypt, truly the flesh and blood of
Egypt. The fundamental occupation for most of
the population was undoubtedly
agriculture and power, both in politics and
religion, was based on the ownership of
land. The first
pharaohs were
tillers of the soil. |
