THE Beat OF THE NILE
Tutankhamun's story starts in old Egypt, a land formed by the occasional changes to the Nile Stream.
All life in Egypt relied upon the waterway — the Nile gave food and regular assets, land for crops, a "street" for movement, and a way to ship materials and products.
Occasional Flood
The flooding of the Nile has been a significant normal cycle in Egypt since old times. Weighty downpours from the Ethiopian high countries would make the waters start ascending in June, flooding the Nile Valley and saving supplement-rich soil.
This flood changed the desert into useful farmland. The stream's consistency permitted the Egyptians to assemble a realm in light of farming riches.
They developed staple food crops — like wheat and grain — and modern harvests — like flax and papyrus. Ranchers fostered a perplexing water system framework, digging channels to guide floodwaters and immersing soil to prepare it for planting. Riverbank mud was heated into blocks for building structures.
The Waterway as a Street
The Nile gave a characteristic interstate to shipping products and individuals. A large portion of the significant urban communities in old Egypt were situated along the riverbank. Ships carried dealers, couriers, and armed forces all through the realm.

EGYPT TODAY
The Nile Stream is as yet the focal point of Egyptian human advancement its incredible urban areas actually thrive. Today, 95% of Egyptians live inside a couple of kilometres of the Nile.
Dams, for example, the Aswan High Dam, have been worked to give a wellspring of hydroelectric power. The Nile keeps on supporting farming and fishing and stays a vital course for transportation.
The Two Terrains
The Nile Stream streams from south to north, and the old Egyptians partitioned their country into the "Two Terrains." Lower Egypt was in the north and finished in the Ni
