Ancient History/Egypt/Geography. ... The Greek historian Herodotus called Egypt the "gift of the Nile", since the kingdom owed its survival to the annual flooding of the Nile and the resulting depositing of fertile silt. The Nile River flows into the Mediterranean Sea, and there is a delta at the mouth.

Egypt was called the gift of the Nile because the Nile river gave life to the desert. This was an essential river during this time and civilizations started developing after people began farming in this region.
