The that role the nile river play in the development of egyptian civilization

Today I read about the Nile, Let me tell you what I read

"Herodotus said "Egypt is the gift of the Nile "and he was correct.

There is no doubt without the Nile river and its unique annual inundation the ancient Egyptian civilization would have suffered the same fate as the Mesopotamians and Sumerians and it most certainly would not have developed into the magnificent culture it did.

it had a system provided by nature to fertilize their annual agricultural productivity.

Intensive agriculture allows for am economic base to create civilization, an example is the United states. They have intensive agriculture and so people are free to pursue other pursuits beside hunting and gathering food.

Look at countries that do not have reliable agricultural systems like Darfur in the Sudan, people hunt and kill other people for sport and profit because the people can not raise crops and afford weapons . "

I am just thinking of what I read

Misraim was the son of Ham, in Hebrew mythology. - Esoterically - the word Egypt is derived from the first letters for the essence colours Emerald Green, Yellow, Pink, Turquoise (E-G-Y-P-T) which are the colours associated with the ancient 32 foot tall egyptians that originally came from the stars and lived in Egypt before the flood ... those that delve into these mysteries will see these essence colours appearing electrically so there must be some truth to this... - The name Misr is a Semiticized form of Ancient Egyptian: Medjr = walled district Medjre = tower, fortress These Ancient Egyptian words became Meetsrayeem [Egypt] and Meetsree [Egyptian] in Hebrew, and in Arabic; Misr and Masri respectively. It is the same as Westerners calling China, China, afte...

Siesta

It is very common here in Egypt, unlike in the West, if you phone someone in the middle of the afternoon, you will wake them up. It is well known that it is not a good time to visit people during this time for the same reason. Families will stay awake together until the early hours of the morning, and will think nothing of calling their friends at 1.00 or 2.00 am to have a chat. Siesta A siesta (IPA: [siˈɛstə], original Spanish pronunciation ['sjest̪a]) is a short nap taken in the early afternoon, often after the midday meal. Such a period of sleep is a common tradition in hot countries. The word siesta is Spanish, from the Latin HORA SEXTA - "the sixth hour" (counting from dawn, therefore noon, hence "midday rest"). The siesta is the traditional daily sleep of the Southern region of Alentejo, in Portugal, known as sesta. It was adopted also by the Spanish and, through European influence, by Latin American countries and the Philippines. Afternoon sleep is also...
