Early Settlements in the Nile Valley

People began to settle in the Nile Valley during the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, before 5500 BC. Initially, they lived as hunter-gatherers, relying on the abundant wildlife and natural resources of the region. Over time, they transitioned to agriculture, growing crops and domesticating animals. This shift allowed them to establish permanent settlements and build homes along the banks of the Nile River. The fertile land and reliable water source provided by the Nile were crucial for sustaining their communities, leading to the development of one of the earliest and most influential civilizations in human history.
