The necessity for coordinated irrigation and land surveying along the Nile primarily drove the development of which Egyptian system?
💡 Explanation:The annual, predictable, yet destructive flooding of the Nile necessitated large-scale, coordinated efforts for irrigation, flood control, and the re-establishment of land boundaries for tax purposes (land surveying). This massive organizational requirement was the primary impetus for the unification of Egypt under a single pharaoh and the subsequent creation of a powerful, centralized bureaucracy to manage these essential tasks, thus driving the development of the Centralized Bureaucratic State. Options A and D were secondary developments, and B is an incorrect political model for Ancient Egypt.
