Answer 1

Egyptian civilization was centered along the Nile River. Agriculture flourished, because the river flooded each June, leaving behind silt (fertile soil), which had the nutrients needed for plants to grow bigger and stronger. Egypt's main crops were papyrus, used to make paper, and barley, used to make beer.
