Egypt is located in the extreme Northeast of Africa. Crossing from Southto North through the Nile River, that flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The desert covers more than 90 percent of Egypt. The egyptians lived on the shores of the Nile river or next to the channels.
Each year the Nile would overflow and flood the fields next located at its shores and fertilize them, producing big surpluses of feed.
For an agricultural civilization like the Egypotians, the Nile was a vital importance. It was also used as a means of communication. The Greek historian Herodotus (5th Century B.C.), declared that “Egypt was a gift from the Nile”. Nowadays, this has not changed.
The country was divided in two: High Egypt, to the South, and Low Egypt, to the North, its mouth in the shape of a delta.
