The river Nile played a very important role in all the countries. It is true that all these countries developed later in comparison to other parts of the world but these lands were geographically very attractive to all. The river makes the lands fertile. Egypt, Mesopotamia and Israel were very rich by nature. It is true that they got the access to scientific tools later but they were more efficient in the traditional ways. The weather of these places was like a curse to them but due to that nature, the people learn to survive.
