Geography of Ancient Egypt

The geography of ancient Egypt was mastered, as is nowadays, by the compounding of lack of rainfall and the Nile. The Famous Greek historian Herodotus named Egypt the "gift of the Nile", since the kingdom owed its survival to the yearly glutting of the Nile and the resulting lodging of fertile silt.
