Soon they began to build boats and

learned to sail. Their numbers grew and a

civilization was established in 3,000 B.C.

Around 3,100 B.C., a commanding king

called Menes, established a unified

who later became known as pharaohs and

built temples, monuments and pyramids.

Even before the time of the pharaohs, the

area around both the White and Blue Nile

tributaries suffered from heavy rains each

year.

This caused large amounts of rain water to

raise the water level in the Nile River and

flood over before it reached the

Mediterranean Sea.
