Answer: Early Egyptians took advantage of Nile floods by having a fertile soil after withdrawing water, which is a prerequisite for the development of agriculture.

Explanation: Egyptian ancient civilization emerged, like many others in the valleys of the great rivers, in this case the Nile River. The Nile River has its periodic spills and floods around the surrounding areas, creating an extremely fertile soil. Thus, after the withdrawal of water in a certain part of the year, farmers were able to use fertile soil for their agricultural crops and rich yields from it. This agricultural wealth in the early years of Egyptian civilization actually contributed to the development of a powerful Egyptian Empire.
