Nile, the mother of Egypt
This is the view from the window of my cruise ship. Most houses in Eqypt has no roof. Someone commented that the strong dessert storm will leave no room for roof. Moreover it hardly rains at all in Eqypt, which of course sound extremely strange for someone who lives in the Equatorial climate. The only source of irrigation during the ancient time is from the flooding of the Nle. The more the Nile flooded, the better the harvest will be that year because more alluvium will be brought to Eqypt. Ever since the construction of the High Dam, flooding has ceased and fertilizers has replaed flood water in rejuvenating the farm lands.
