EQ: How did the Egyptian Civilization develop?
Farmers moved to the Nile River valley between 6000 and 5000 BCE. They moved to the the river valley for it's fertile soil. They created several villages that grew over time. These people became the Egyptians. The Egyptians grew and after a while they had plenty of food so people were able to become Artisans. This called for a government. They got their ideas for it from their neighbors the Mesopotamians.
