And the mud on the side of the nile was used to build the ancient egytian homes... They also used the nile to bathe and when the river gushed with water from the snows at the ethiaopian highlands the water was a religious object as they belived thier god, RA was rewardiing them they also used the nile to grow crops on the banks as this soil was the most nutritional soil they could fiind so thier crops would live...

      The nile was east of the land of the dead. It also was the egyptians main water source. It was their bathing area and holy water. The land of the dead is were the pyramids were and the dead bodies would be sent there to live a afterlife. King Tutankhamen was in one of the pyramids and all of the other kings were stolen along with their belongings. ONLY King Tutankhamen dead body was not stolen by robbers or bandits.
