This video gives pupils an understanding of the vital role the River Nile played in the success of Ancient Egypt.
It begins by exploring a visual source of a farm scene from Ancient Egypt, highlighting the role of the shaduf - a tool used to move water from one place to another.
The video focuses on the River Nile and how important the river was to daily life - highlighting the various ways the river was used in normal years when the water was plentiful...and the disaster that struck in times of drought.
Moving through the video pupils will see the wildlife and resources that came from the River Nile and how these were used in the advancement of Ancient Egyptian civilisation.
We learn how the reeds were used for making a wide variety of essential items - including papyrus, the first form of paper - and we hear about the Ancient Egyptian god called 'Hapi' who was the god of the River Nile.
