    Ancient Egypt was incredibly lucky, but it used that luck masterfully.

    It was Herodotus who said:

    "Egypt is the gift of the Nile",

    Every year in Egypt, the Nile overflows and creates a rich valley of black soil that is abundantly fertile. This fertility was central to Egyptian civilization.
