How did geography influence where ancient egypt lived

Egypt is mostly made up of rocks, sand, and scorching desert heat. People mostly live along the Nile river because it provides drinking water for humans and animals, arable land, and a body of water to fish from.

monarchy doesn’t have to have the hereditary element. there have been elective monarchies in the past where you choose your king-for-life and when he dies elect someone else for the job.
