The entire civilization relied absolutely on the Nile River. The river provided a highly predictable annual flood that deposited rich, dark, fertile silt along its banks, guaranteeing massive agricultural surpluses. Furthermore, the brutal surrounding deserts acted as an impenetrable natural fortress, protecting Egypt from massive invading armies for centuries.
