Describe some ways the environment shaped ancient egyptian culture?

1) The dry and hot climate contributed to the fact that corpses would not decompose, but dry>> this likely influenced the burial ceremonies and the making of mummies

2) The flooding of Nile influenced their yearly behaviour: for example outside of the flooding a around, people would have time (they would just wait for the flooding to come to be able to farm again) and could be employed in the making of e.g. pyramids.
