What would happen if the Nile river wasn't there?
Rivers flow naturally from highlands where the rains fall, to the sea. The exact route of the river
is determined by topography and, to a certain extent, by chance. Ancient civilizations - and many
more modern ones - develop around the rivers, and the prime example of this was the Nile. If the
Nile River had formed differently, then the entire course of human history and development
would have been different. The Egyptian civilization and culture that evolved along the Nile
would have been different, in unpredictable ways, which means that the political and social
developments in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, including relationships with the Sumerians, the
Hittites, the Israelites, the Greeks, Romans and Phoenicians, might have evolved differently. For
example, a minor shift of the the land, perhaps caused by an earthquake or volcano, might have
caused the lands currently drained by the Nile to have formed a different river draining into the
Indian Ocean. This would have caused the course of history to have proceeded much differently
than it did. The Nile might never have formed, or might have been a much smaller river, not
capable of supporting the Egyptian civilization. Much of what catapulted Egypt to greatness was
the need to manage the annual flooding of the Nile, and preserve the flood waters for agricultural
uses; it was the first great engineering project of the human race. Without the Nile, this either
would not have happened, or would have proceeded much differently.

Would it be good if the Nile River floods?

It could be good agriculturally, and was since the times of AncientEgypt, when the floods
dumped fertile alluvial soil over the NileRiver banks. But it could be bad if the floods were
severe, becauseit would wash away any growing crops. Since the construction of the Aswan
High Dam in 1970, Egypt gets noNile floods, beneficial or otherwise. However, they still occur
inSudan, which is above (south of) the dam.
