Geography of Ancient Egypt The country of Egypt is located in the north eastern region of Africa. It is bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea. In the south there is a mountain range which receives snow. The climate of Egypt is dry and arid because the Sahara Desert crosses it. One of the major geographical features of this area is the Nile River, which runs northward toward the Mediterranean Sea. One of the most important features of the Nile is that it makes a 320 km (200 miles) bend in the Sahara Desert. This feature has long puzzled geographers because most rivers would go straight to the sea, instead it travels through one of the driest places on Earth bringing life-giving water. Recently, scientists have found evidence that supports the bend was caused by tectonic activity somewhere between 10,000 and a million years ago. The Nile is fed by two rivers, the Blue Nile and the White Nile, which is the reason for it not drying during the dry seasons. At one time there were about six such tributaries feeding it, however these eventually dried out due to slow water with silt accumulation. Every year the Nile flooded because the snow in the mountains melted and brought nutrients in the form of silt. This silt was left once the river floods receded, leaving moist fertile soil for plants to grow. The ancient Egyptians used the floods for horticultural and domestic use.

Egypt: Geography Location: the northeast corner of the continent of Africa Size: approximately 997,740 sq. km Capital: Cairo Official language (today): Arabic Official language (ancient): combination Semitic and Hamitic Major river: The Nile divides Egypt in half Deserts: Libyan, Nubian, and Eastern. They were barriers of protection, shielding the people against invasion by surrounding civilizations Topography: The highest lands are in the south and the land slopes gently toward the Mediterranean Sea. There are some mountains located on the southern Sinai peninsula. Some of these reach over 2600 meters (8530 feet high). The land at the Mediterranean is at sea level. Climate: very dry; there is almost no rainfall on a regular basis. The people depend on the annual summer floods of the Nile River for water. The floods begin in June and end in October. Without the Nile, there would likely be no Egypt. Source: Splendors of Ancient Egypt Educational Guide Splendors Post Cards SPT Articles Extra Credit ... St. Petersburg Times.

Ancient Egypt Geography Home Africa Asia Europe ... South America Ancient Egypt Geography The geography of Egypt has not gained a lot of interest from researchers. However, it is interesting and historical. Egypt was a vast land that had two sea shores. There was the red sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Ancient Egyptians believed that, Egypt was divided into two areas or portions. These areas were part of the Egypt as a kingdom. Sponsored Links : These areas were described as types of Egypt due to their nature, culture and people. There was the black Egypt or the black land and the red Egypt. The black land or black Egypt was the expanse that lay along the Nile River which originates from east Africa. This area was rich, fertile and productive. It was described as bread basket of Egypt. The black lands of Egypt were fertile since the Nile River deposited silt. The black Egypt was expansive and lay along the length of river Nile. The silt formed a thick layer of fertile soil. This land was the only area in Egypt where agriculture could be practiced. The farming activities here produced enough produce to feed Egyptians. The red Egypt or the red lands were the expansive deserts that surrounded Egypt on both sides. This was barren land composed of sand and desert. Ancient mining activities were carried out. Egyptians were able to mine precious metals from the red lands. They also could mine semi precious stones here. This land protected Egypt from invading armies. This ancient Egypt geography provides an insight about how Egypt was functioning and where human economic activity took place in ancient Egypt geography.
