This happened each year. Farmers used the rich soil the river left behind to grow plants that could be eaten as food. The Nile River also brought water to the plants that grew.  \n2  \n\n|  To grow plants, Egyptian farmers first dug up the soil.  Sometimes they used a hoe for digging. Then they dropped\u003Cbr>seeds into the ground. Animals such as cows stepped on the seeds and pushed them into the ground so that they would grow. |\n| --- |\n|  |\n| Sometimes farmers used a plow instead of a hoe to dig up the soil. Often an ox pulled the plow along. |\n| \u003Cbr>3 |\n\n|  | Ancient Egypt was a civilization on the continent of Africa. The land of ancient Egypt lay along the Nile River. All around this land was a desert, called the Sahara Desert. Ancient Egypt became known as the gift of the Nile. |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |\n| The Nile River is in northern Africa. It is more than six thousand kilometers long. The Nile flows north into the Mediterranean Sea. |  |  |\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> 4 \u003Cbr> |  |  |\n\n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Egyptians called their rulers kings, queens, or pharaohs. Whatever their title, they were the most important people in ancient Egypt. They made the laws and were in charge of the army.\u003Cbr>This is a statue, or stone carving, of a pharaoh.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>5 |\n\n\n|  | Believe it or not, the Egyptian people had things that we would find in our own homes today.

It may also have protected their eyes from the sun and kept away little flies.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>6 |  |  |  |","cbCaieUVm7gO8SzP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieUVm7gO8SzP","pdf",13534488,1,30,"English","en",105,"# The Nile River\n## Seasonal flooding and farming\n## How Egyptians planted crops\n## Geography of ancient Egypt","[{\"question\":\"How did the Nile River affect life in ancient Egypt?\",\"answer\":\"The Nile flooded each year, leaving rich soil and providing water for plants that could be eaten as food.\"},{\"question\":\"What tools and steps did Egyptian farmers use to grow plants?\",\"answer\":\"Farmers dug up soil with a hoe or plow, dropped seeds into the ground, and animals like cows stepped on the seeds so they could grow.\"},{\"question\":\"Where was ancient Egypt located and what surrounded it?\",\"answer\":\"Ancient Egypt was in northern Africa along the Nile River, surrounded on all sides by the Sahara Desert.\"}]",1784273306,46,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":27},"ancient-egypt-chapter-1-the-nile-river","",{"@graph":35,"@context":83},[36,52,66],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/ancient-egypt-chapter-1-the-nile-river/88384/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"How did the Nile River affect life in ancient Egypt?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"The Nile flooded each year, leaving rich soil and providing water for plants that could be eaten as food.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"What tools and steps did Egyptian farmers use to grow plants?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"Farmers dug up soil with a hoe or plow, dropped seeds into the ground, and animals like cows stepped on the seeds so they could grow.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"Where was ancient Egypt located and what surrounded it?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"Ancient Egypt was in northern Africa along the Nile River, surrounded on all sides by the Sahara Desert.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,95,98,102,107,112,117,121,126,129,133],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":92,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":21,"slug":120},8,"Research & Report","research-report",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":127,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":128},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":132},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":136},19,"General","general"]
