Flashcards: Predynastic Period (up to 3100 BCE)

What was the definitive geographic location of the entire Ancient Egyptian Empire?

Your answer:

The Valley of the Kings

Your answer:

Memphis

Your answer:

Lower Egypt

Your answer:

Upper Egypt

Correct answer:

The Nile River Valley

Explanation:

Over the course of its existence, Ancient Egypt grew to encompass not only the entire Nile Valley and Delta, but also nearly the entire north-east of the African continent, finally stopping only at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile River Valley was the definitive and central location of the Empire – oftentimes, it is referred to as the veritable heart of the Egyptian civilization. The Nile Valley was crucial because of its unique concentration of many valuable natural resources, including animals, fish, stone, gold, minerals, and fertile soil – all of which were absolutely necessary to the survival of the Egyptian people. In some ways, the Nile River Valley is comparable to the Fertile Crescent of Mesopotamia, for it was in the Nile Valley in which North-East Africa’s first stable living settlements and sustainable agricultural practices initially emerged.

Flashcards: Predynastic Period (up to 3100 BCE)

Why were most major Ancient Egyptian structures built in close proximity to the Nile River?

The majority of Ancient Egyptians lived within a few miles of the Nile’s banks on either side.

The hearty and fertile soil around the Nile provided the ideal foundation for large structures.

Proximity to the Nile gave the surrounding buildings and their population a strong defensive position.

The Nile was considered the central life-force of all important religious and social activities.

The Nile was the main means of transportation for building materials.

Correct answer:

The Nile was the main means of transportation for building materials.

Explanation:

Most major Ancient Egyptian structures—from pyramids and temples to courthouses and palaces—were built in close proximity to the Nile River. While at first glance, this structural clustering might seem arbitrary or random, this phenomenon was not at all accidental. The Ancient Egyptians wisely turned the Nile’s immense length and steady current to their advantage by using the River as their primary means of transporting building materials. Not only was this method much faster than any of the other contemporary options, but it also allowed for the relatively easy transport of especially heavy materials, including the limestone, granite, and sandstone used to construct pyramids, temples, and sculptures.
