Test: Ancient History: Egypt

1.

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

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

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

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

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

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