(2021·安徽综合模拟一)There are long rivers, and there are famous rivers. The Nile is the world's longest and most famous river. It runs 6,670 kilometers. Crocodiles and hippos live in its waters. Pyramids built by ancient Egyptians rise along its banks.
The main branch of the Nile, the White Nile, starts just above Lake Victoria, the world's second largest freshwater lake, in east central Africa. Then it flows to the north. In Sudan's capital, another great river called the Blue Nile joins the White Nile. Together, they form one very powerful river. Then it goes through Egypt's famous Nile Valley before reaching the Mediterranean Sea.
Ancient Egypt, the first great African civilization(文明), started along the banks of the Nile more than 5,000 years ago. Ancient Egypt ruled the Nile Valley for thousands of years. The Great Pyramids and temples were built on the banks and we can still visit them today.
Without the rich farmland along the banks of the Nile, there might be no ancient Egypt civilization. Every year, the Nile flooded its banks. The floodwaters covered the banks with a rich soil. The Nile's banks were easy to farm and produce crops.
The Nile also made a perfect highway for boats. The river runs north, but the wind on the river blows south. To go south, boatmen put up the sails to catch the wind. To go north, they took the sails down. Ancient people traded along the river for hundreds of miles.
