Many people think that the Mississippi River
is the longest river in the world, but that's not true. The Nile River is over 4,000
miles long and runs from sources in East Africa to the Mediterranean
Sea . The Nile
River has two main sources.
The White Nile is very mellow and begins in East Africa
and runs northward through many swamps. The Blue Nile is the other main source
and flows through the mountains of Ethiopia . This wild river runs for
about 700 miles in Egypt
spreading fertile soil along the river. Ancient Egyptians praised Hapi, the god
of the Nile , because they believed that he
brings the floodwaters that deposit the rich soil good for farming. The Nile River
brought many people to East Africa and much
more trade to the countries it flows through. Do you think Nile River
made a big impact on the Ancient Egyptians?
