HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION: How have people changed & used the Nile River? The Black Land and the Red Land The domains of Lower and Upper Egypt consisted of two parts, the Black Land and the Red Land. The area next to the River Nile was called the Black Land, further away from the river was the Red Land. The 'Black Lands' were the farming areas on the banks of the Nile. The 'Red Lands' were the desert areas. Both were extremely important to the economy and civilization of ancient Egypt. The Black Land: Where nearly all ancient Egyptians lived. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed because of the layer of rich, black silt and alluvial soil that was deposited every year following the annual inundation (flooding) of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians called the Nile river 'Ar or Aur' meaning “Black,” in allusion to the color of the deposits carried by the river when it was in flood. The Black Lands produced crops such as cereals, wheat and barley (for beer). Other vital plants included: Flax which was used to make linen and rope and Papyrus used to make paper, boats and maps. The Nile was also the source of a major supply of food – fish. The Red Land: Were virtually uninhabited. The red land protected Egypt on two sides and separated ancient Egypt from neighboring countries and invading armies. The Red Lands were rich in raw materials such as stone and precious metals such as gold, silver and copper and semi-precious stones.
