Why did the Nile flood the land?
Give the actual reason and tell why the Egyptians though the Nile flooded
he nile overflows its banks because of the large amount of rainfall at the blue nile in the ethiopian highlands. This extra water fills up the nile exceeding its water capacity and flooding the areas and banks around it. Another reason is that some mountains far away melt their snow into water and add this water to the nile. The ancient egyptians had a different theory they thought that the Nile flooded every year because of isis's tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris.
