Detailed explanation-1: -Egyptians refer to Nile River as not just a giver of life but also taker. This is owing to the Nile river’s flood giving life by providing fertile soils and soil moisture to help grow agricultural and food production. Nile-fed agriculture is a crucial sector in the country’s economy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The country Egypt is called the “Gift of the Nile” as it is Egypt’s lifeline. Without the Nile, Egypt would have been a desert. Historically, the Nile has provided water for the cultivation of crops in Egypt that led to the burgeoning of many civilizations along the river valley.
Detailed explanation-3: -Taker of Life The Nile flooded at about the same time each year. But this flooding was not always the same. Sometimes it flooded too much and destroyed crops and killed people. Other times, the river did not flood enough.
