Answer 1

You're trying to take the easy way out.  One reason you are doing this is to learn how to research.  You will be missing out if you have others provide the answer.

Answer 2

1. It's an asset:

To the north is the Med. Sea.  Until the Greeks came over they didn't know they could cross it.

To the west is the desert-most people would die in a matter of days trying to cross it.

To the south Nubia-Egypt controlled most of this land for various periods of time.

To the east-Arabia/Red Sea. This was the only way way could be invaded for most of Ancient Egypt's history.  If you go far enough east you will find mountains that will make travel difficult but not impossible.  For the better part of their history Ancient Egypt's geography protected them from invasion.

Another geographical asset is the Nile.  When the Nile flooded rich nutrients were brought to fertilized their crops.

2. Irrigation.  Can't think of any more.

3. Right off I would say it wasn't but if I had to pick something I would say: the pyramids and religion.  Southeast Asia has pyramids also but they are different.  As for religion-you have polytheism.  Hinduism covered a good size region back then and the Ancient Egyptians were polytheistic.  Whereas in Africa polytheism wasn't the main religion though it did exist.  In Africa Animism was the main religion or belief.  Animism is the idea that everything is "alive" or has a "spirit".  The Native Americans were also Animistic.  Other than that I can't think of anything.

4. You posted this question separately and a man posted 20 contributions.  Use what he said.
