Early humans decided to settle in close to river banks for the many advantages water represented. During the Neolithic Revolution, early humans learned agriculture techniques that allowed them to finally stop being nomads and settle in to farm the fields. Ancient Egyptians settled in next to the Nile River. The flooding of the river produced fertile soil and they could grow crops. Something similar happened in places such as Sumeria, where they settled in between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
