How Wheat Caused the Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt
Wheat played a major role in both the rise, and the eventual downfall of the ancient Egyptian empire. Wheat allowed the rise of civilization in Egypt and the Nile river provided fertile grounds for grain production.
Unfortunately, a sudden and catastrophic reduction in the annual flooding of the Nile caused wheat cultivation to drop dramatically, and over the next three decades, famine gripped the land.
Citizens resorted to cannibalism to survive and death and suffering were widespread, causing the sage Ipuwer to proclaim: "See now the land deprived of kingship. What the pyramid hid is empty. The People are diminished."
