Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Egyptians called the Nile floodplain “Kemet” (meaning black land) for its fertile soil and the Nile itself Iteru. In ancient Egypt, the Nile flooded annually about 7 or 8 meters, bringing water and fertile silt from the African interior while at the same time removing salts.

It was a critical lifeline that literally brought life to the desert.
