Answer 2

Answer: People in Egypt built cities near bodies of water.

Cities in Egypt were often built near bodies of water, in particular, the Nile river. This served several functions. Bodies of water allowed for easy transportation of goods and people. It also allowed communication between different cities. The land close to bodies of water tends to be more fertile, as well as making irrigation easier.
