Why was the nile river very importanat to ancient egypt?
The main reason it was imortant is because during the flood season, The Nile would drop silt (fertile soil) in clumps. Farmers used it to grow crops. When the water flooded and there was too much water, the crops were distroyed. If there wasn’t enough water, there would be a famine. The Nile was also used for transport and for leisure.
