There were also many different kinds of

birds and wild vegetables that grew along

the banks of the Nile.

Another very important plant which grew

in abundance along the banks of the river

were reeds, known as papyrus. Reeds

grew to almost 10ft (3m) tall and were

used to make various household items that

the Egyptians used in their everyday life.

Some of the things made with reeds were

paper, pens, mats, perfume, blankets,

medicine, clothes, sandals, baskets, even

chairs and tables.

Trading and transportation were also very

important to the Egyptians and they used

the Nile to accomplish this.
