Q1: This picture includes a canal for bringing water to the land. Where is it?

[Answer]

The ancient Egyptians lived by the Nile, hemmed in by the desert and mountain to either side.

Can we get clues to the traditional way of using this land? What was difficult; what was easy?

We have two sources to use: the ancient tomb pictures and the landscape of modern Egypt. Here we use both, beginning with the tombs and moving on to the way people use the land today.
