According to the British Museum in their article Geography, “the ‘black land’ was the fertile land on the banks of the Nile used for growing crops because this was the only land with a rich layer of black silt deposited by the Nile every year after the flood. The ‘red land’ was barren desert that protect Egypt on two sides therefore separating Egypt from its neighboring countries and invading armies. This land also provided Egypt was a source of precious metals”.
