Detailed explanation-1: -The civilization of ancient Egypt was indebted to the Nile River and its dependable seasonal flooding. The river’s predictability and fertile soil allowed the Egyptians to build an empire on the basis of great agricultural wealth.
Detailed explanation-2: -This yearly flooding of the river is known as inundation. As the floodwaters receded in October, farmers were left with well-watered and fertile soil in which to plant their crops. The soil left behind by the flooding is known as silt and was brought from Ethiopian Highlands by the Nile.
Detailed explanation-3: -The resulting large surplus of crops enabled the Egyptians to develop many different specialized occupations that led to their complex society. Two additional crops grown by the Egyptians were grapes and flax. Grapes were used to make wine.
