It has many tributaries but there are two main ones: the White Nile fed by lake Victoria and the Blue Nile coming from Ethiopian mountains. These two main branches join near Khartoum, the capital of Sudan and they continue together as Nile proper until meeting the Mediterranean Sea and forming the Nile delta in northern Egypt. Around 5000 BC, one of the first great civilizations developed in the northern Nile river valley dependent on agriculture in a land called Egypt. Water; Fertile soil; and river's flow north while prevailing wind blows south made the Nile the best transportation way, were examples of the Nile gifts. Another gift is that every year the flood came bringing disaster and famine due to destroying the crops and their villages.

Egypt is also a continent in Africa it is near the Nile River. Mesopotamia and Egypt were different in terms of geography because Egypt’s geography had Mesoamerica the Tigris, and Euphrates rivers and the Nile River, as well as annual Nile flooding. On the other hand Mesopotamia’s geography had Mesopotamia the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and river valleys.

A case of mistaken identity of a place called Tall er-Rameh (=TeR), now evidence shows Ramah is the lost city of Livias and is no longer lost. To begin with, new evidence has turned up facts of Livias’s existence at Tall el-Hammam (=TeH) near the Dead Sea; which is said to be the lowest spot on the face of the earth it is about 1300 feet below sea level. First, there are two tectonic plates, the Arabian and the African tectonic plates; which rub and shift. Both have made a huge scar on earth, which goes from Africa to Lebanon. This is called the rift of the valley, sixty-five miles to the North of the Jordon River in the oldest city in the world, Jerusalem.

The Simpson Desert Case Study Location: The Simpson Desert is located in arid central Australia, on the borders of Queensland, Northern Territory and South Australia. The Simpson covers an area of approximately 176,500 km’2 and is underlined by the Great Artesian Basin. In areas it ranges from below sea level to around 300 meters above sea level and includes some of the world’s largest sand dunes. The Simpson Desert is bordered in the south by Lake Eyre, in the north via the Plenty highway, in the west alongside the stony tableland, the rivers Finke, Mogumber, Stevenson and Todd, and in the east the rivers of Diamantina, Georgina, Warburton and Goyder’s Lagoon. Climate: The Climate in the Simpson Desert is an extremely hot and dry during the days with cooler nights that reach very low temperatures.
There was little cloud cover to protect the land from the sun or to provide moisture from rain. Also the high pressure equatorial belts and rain shadow effect kept the area dry. Therefore the land became loose and dry and blew away with the winds, spreading over large surfaces of area creating deserts.Deserts are usually found 15 and 30 degrees North and South of the Equator. They generally lie on the Western side of land masses and are affected by cold ocean currents. Examples of Hot Desert Biomes are the Sahara Desert covering most of South Africa, one country being Sudan, and the Namib Desert in Namibia.
Located in Sahara desert in Northern Africa, the river flows north while the wind blows south making the Nile the main transportation way. Early Egyptians thought Egypt had two different types of land, the 'black land' and the 'red land'. The 'black land' was the fertile land from the river over flowing over on to the banks which left a layer of silt that fertilized their soil. The 'red land' was the infertile land or deserts that provided the early Egyptians protection on two sides from neighboring countries. This land also
The climate of Arabia is very dry and has high temperatures. Arabia lacks forests and rivers and therefore is a wild mountainous area in which people led nomadic lives. The center of Arabia is mostly desert with oases scattred around which provide food and water for settlements. The surroundings in which the people of Pre- Islamic Arabia lived in was corrupted and very harsh they were living in the days of ignorance (jahilliya).It was the time in Arabia prior to the coming of Islam brought by Prophet Muhammad. The Ka'bah was filled with idols; Mecca got quite alot of wealth from this as they were paid to look after the idol statues .Most of the Arabs were idol worshippers.
