What were reasons that enhanced development of early Agriculture in Egypt.?

a) Availability of Water for irrigation and for domestic use from river Nile.
b) Existence of fertile silt deposits and mud originating from the flooding of the Nile between
July and October annually, which provided fertile soil for crop farming.
c) Another advantage was that Egypt had a suitable warm climate for crop growing and ripening.
d) The Use of shadoof Irrigation technology ensured production of food during drought seasons
e) Presence of indigenous crops and animals from which domestication was made. Wheat and
barley had already become indigenous to Egypt as were animals like sheep and goats.
f) Foreign influence from South West Asia where farming was first practiced. The proximity of
Egypt to Mesopotamia, the first centre of agricultural development ensured that she borrowed
heavily from there.
g) The Natural protection of the region from foreign attacks, since the Nile valley was protected
by the Libyan Desert to the West, the Nubian Desert and Nile cataracts to the South and the Nile
coast delta on the North.
h) Political stability.
i) High population created need for more food and provided farm labour.
j) Availability of slave labour made crop farming a success.
k) The invention and use of implements that included wooden sticks, knives and wooden hoes
enabled the farmers to increase their yields.
l) The existence of writing in Egypt helped the Egyptians to keep accurate records of seasons and
volume of food.
