Picture it...a river flowing like a ribbon through the length of the entire land of Ancient Egypt! This river was the Nile. The Nile was an important part of Ancient Egypt's economy. In ancient times there may not have been a money system, but
there was a lot of "buying and selling" done through trade!
The land around the banks of the Nile contained fertile soil that was good for agriculture and farming livestock. This allowed farmers to abundantly grow crops and raise animals. These resources were then traded for other items wanted or needed.
The Nile was also important to the Ancient Egyptian economy because ships were able to bring in (import) goods and take out (export) goods with other regions of the world.
The merchants "selling" these goods were important and high up in the social structure because they helped drive the economy to make life better (12)!
