The Test and egypt.

Today we took the quiz that we spent the last two days preparing for.  I knew the information well and because of that, I got 100% on the quiz.  We also started to read about the Egyptians who lived on the banks of the Nile, using the rich silt that was brought down every July by the regular flooding to farm their wheat and barley.  Although this flooding of the Nile was far more regular than the flooding of the tigeris and Euphrates there were still struggles with the river regarding the amount that it flooded.  If it didn't flood enough there would not be enough silt brought down then there would not be enough to farm with, and thousands of people would starve.  If the river flooded too much then it would destroy houses and the granaries that stored the grain to be planted in October of that year.
