"Egypt is the gift of the Nile" or "gift of the river," described by the phrase of Herodotus in Egypt, in Chapter V of Part II of his book.
It is true that the Nile is the artery of life to Egypt, but not Acetkn people of Egypt for the gift of the Nile, but they reached the prospects in the knowledge and progress Vsagua the river and made the lake Fayoum and built bridges, earthen flood control was all in the era of the ancient Egyptians and worked with by the Greeks and Romans of civilization In the era of Roman occupation Byzantine and you can find the effects of cities in the desert areas today, proof that the Egyptians were working to cultivate the desert areas, which were undoubtedly need to labor over land near the river, and even the oasis you can find where the wells Roman engraved since the Roman era and the wells or two modern holes for a reason for oil exploration.
Kimi or black earth
The word Kimi old Coptic means black earth, is the alluvial soil granules black soil micro-carried by the Nile River to overflow its the desert of Egypt be on its banks land black given fertility and growth of any planter where it not for the Nile water carrier, good with them to become the northeastern corner of the continent Alfriqih desert arid is immersed, and so the Egyptians lived along its banks, generation after generation, contribute to world civilization creative in their ability to innovate.
The land of Egypt is limited from Libya in the west to the Red Sea where Libya and Nubia (Sudan) to the Mediterranean Sea north and were considered the two countries, an extension of Egypt in ancient times, and the North Africa region is dominated by desertification are along the desert vast includes five to seven countries and limited vegetation on the and the Nile Valley in a series of oases is also the gift of the river.
Valley on the river: the width of the river valley about ten to twenty Iklmitr offer.
Delta: a fertile area formed by reaction failure Greene turned the Nile to the fertile land of mud by the seven branches of the Nile and the Nile trip ends in the fresh waters of the Mediterranean, and the Delta region are almost equilateral triangle varies along the rib 200 Iklmitr almost.
Fayoum is located at a distance of one hundred Iklmitr from the south west of Cairo low natural as casting the River Nile some of its water Vtkont Lake in the Hall surface about 1600 square meters (640 miles), fed by a network of irrigation canals and include approximately ten percent of the total agricultural land, and the lake surface of 280 square Iklmitr where the surface water level fell by about 10 meters to 12 meters
Fayoum and the word is derived from the word Coptic means lake - and called on the province (region) name Orsenauy eras in the Hellenistic (Ptolemaic)
There are several in the Western Desert oases planted.
Today, in spite of scientific advances and increasing the area of agricultural land and cultivation of infants throughout the year but that the area of agricultural land are either less or they are equally than it was in ages Romanian, and the natural result of economic woes is aggravated by the financial demands increased, especially in later times in the era of occupation of the Arab-Islamic as a result of pressure on farmers financially to raise taxes and harassment of referees and the lack of interest to establish the dams dirt, which was protective against the dangers of Agayadan and repair of more land and other factors, when these workers are active in an untenable position, Vhgroa entire villages, especially those villages on the edge of the desert, and the force work required to provide irrigation water high increased in the canals and channels, the proportion of silt to lack of maintenance, making the ground not reached by water was left Port without cultivation, and was shun man Egyptian desert was soon Tstaidh and covered with sand storm (1) This explains the existence of cities, archaeological the desert and when exploration and deep soil around the show ground black mud.
Where it comes from the Nile flood?
And when the summer was the Nile increasingly high waters and up to the level of its banks and flood waters on the valley Faihalh to Lake dilated, and the reason for this phenomenon, which is repeated every year they tried to explain throughout antiquity, in the fifth century BC. M log Herodotus of that: not One can talk about the sources of the Nile, because Africa in which (the Nile) desert, abandoned by the population, "however, gave Herodotus of three theories previously stated, until his time and added to them the theory of fourth weave his imagination, strange that he refused all other theories including the theory correct that Ostantjha Onadzajuras philosopher and is mentioned in a piece of papyrus on which is written a play for the missing Euripides, then after four centuries, said Diodorus the Sicilian said several explanations, including the correct theory, which was still the theory is rejected at the time.
In the middle of the first century AD Pliny the Elder noted that: "The Nile flows from sources yet to be discovered," and then mentions a description of its sources closer to the upper legend than to fact, (2)
But recent statements confirmed that the source of the Nile water is in fact the first two main sources:
First, the mountains of Abyssinia: it is covered with ice, which melts this is the rainy season by pouring profusely every spring driven by billions of gallons of water in the river at its sources, and in a trip down to the sewage, which dug through hundreds of thousands of years pass from the cracks of Abyssinia and the plains of Sudan and up Egypt to Egypt in early June - and reserves the Aswan High Dam and Aswan Reservoir behind this flux and control channels in the diversion of water to the streams and canals valley and the dam is the one who protected Egypt from Guelleh flood when it comes higher than the appropriate or less appropriate to the first channel is responsible for irrigation Valley and the second channel Taatgxih Toshka Canal, which was established to grow and led in the Toshka project established in the era of President Mohamed Mubarak sensory -
Second Lake Victoria in central Africa, where these lakes are the source of the Nile waters throughout the year where the flow slowly from these lakes, and the water permeates the soil and the underground river show the water from springs and wells in the oases in the Western Sahara.
When we speak of ancient times was the flood flows in channels and on the surface of the ground slowly without control and after a period of 2-4 weeks up to Memphis and conservative Orsenauy (Fayoum), and begin the Nile water permeate areas mud dry cracked next to the river where the flow of water dissolved cracks Vtmloha then under water and move in slowly to inundate the valley the whole, and this process was the ancient Egyptians call it poetic name (race Osiris), On July 20 almost appear in the sky star Munir named Sirius (*) Sirius - which then turns the water laden mud and silt which is washedfrom the mountains of Abyssinia slash of color to the color of greenness structures oblique to the redness.
Magic Valley
When you reach all the waters of the River Nile to the maximum height covering an area wider than the valley, and make the valley the whole like a lake covered by water, and see the villages and cities built on land above the flood level appear on the surface of the water, as you can see the trees in the middle of the water, attracted view fascination of the ancient world, including the Roman emperors, rulers, poets, philosophers, and we are not dealing here with limited to their work and their writing, but remember that the philosopher Seneca and playwright who lived in the first century AD, he had land and estates in Egypt, he said: "The appearance of the countryside beautiful, when it published the Nile watersover the fields "
It is true that the Nile is the artery of life to Egypt, but not Acetkn people of Egypt for the gift of the Nile, but they reached the prospects in the knowledge and progress Vsagua the river and made the lake Fayoum and built bridges, earthen flood control was all in the era of the ancient Egyptians and worked with by the Greeks and Romans of civilization In the era of Roman occupation Byzantine and you can find the effects of cities in the desert areas today, proof that the Egyptians were working to cultivate the desert areas, which were undoubtedly need to labor over land near the river, and even the oasis you can find where the wells Roman engraved since the Roman era and the wells or two modern holes for a reason for oil exploration.
