    The location of the Nile was ideal for Egyptians, and the long river provided transportation for traders, sailors, and government officials. The Nile’s location, in between the Western and Eastern deserts (Doc. A), was perfect because deserts were relatively impossible for armies to travel across because of the lack of drinkable water and eatable food. The Nile was also bordered by the Nubian Desert to the south (Doc. A). Finally, to the north,…

    The era from 2660-2160 B.C.E. in Egyptian history is known as the Old Kingdom. During this period, Egypt was a unified kingdom ruled by a King, the pharaoh. The territory of Egypt covered from the Nile delta, south along the Nile River, to the second stretch of waterfalls and rapids, or cataract. Directly to the south, along the Nile River, was the region of Nubia. Nubia was not unified, and consisted of smaller Nubian Kingdoms. As authors Jerry H. Bentley and Herbert F. Ziegler state, “Nubians wanted to protect their independence from their large and powerful neighbor to the north. Their desire kept them strongly interested in Egypt.” (53) Egyptians were just as interested in Nubia. They desired products that could only be attained from the south, and were wary of a threat to Egypt from Nubia. These interests led to explorers and diplomats to travel between the two regions. According to the writer Miriam Lichtheim, “one of these diplomats, was a royal official, who became governor of Upper Egypt, named Harkhuf.” (1: 25-27) He made four expeditions to Nubia. Harkhuf wrote an autobiography mentioning these expeditions, and as common Egyptian tradition, his autobiography was carved into his tomb. Harkhuf’s autobiography clearly depicts the interest of the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom in Nubia and the series of actions they took to achieve knowledge of this southern region. His autobiography illuminated the Egyptian’s interest through his recollections stated of requests, means, and the retributions of his travels. In parallel, it unveiled the methods by which Egyptians acquired knowledge about Nubia in Harkhuf’s same remembrance of his expeditions.…

    The geography of Northeast Africa and the Nile Valley had a profound influence on the ancient Egyptian civilization and culture as is evidenced by their hieroglyphs, art and monoliths of the period. Ancient Egyptian civilization was initially settled along the banks of the Nile River with two major urban settlements, one along the upper Nile and the other along the banks of the lower Nile (civilization.ca). These areas became known as the “double lands” or “two lands” of Upper and Lower Egypt (civilization.ca). Egyptian civilization was established in a very long and narrow strip of fertile land located along the banks of the Nile River. The Nile River flows south to north for 4000 miles in the middle of two very inhospitable deserts, the sandy Libyan Desert to the west and the mountainous Arabian Desert to the east. The annual cycle of the Nile flooding its banks brought new layers of nutrient rich silt down from the Ethiopian highlands and deposited them along the shores of the Nile River. The flooding cycle of the Nile facilitated the abundant agriculture success the ancient Egyptian people enjoyed and was instrumental in creating such a rich, vibrant and optimistic civilization (Feiro21).…
