The Ancient Egyptians called the Nile the "Aur", which means "black" and comes from the black soil|
The Egyptians measured the height of the annual flood using a Nilometer. This helped them to determine how good the crops would be that year|
The cause of the flood each year was heavy rains and melting snow to the south near the source of the Nile|
The Ancient Egyptians believed that the flood was caused by the tears of the goddess Isis as she cried for her dead husband Osiris|
