#1 The Egyptian Nile is born of the confluence of two great rivers, the Blue Nile which rises in the highlands of Ethiopia, and the White Nile which is fed by Lake Victoria. It flows northwards for a thousand miles until it reaches the sea.

#2 The Nile has always been a source of wonder for Egyptians. They have always been aware of their unique environment, and have shaped their society and world view based on it.

#3 The Nile's water has always been more likely to kill than cure, but it does have miraculous properties. Its water and nutrients are magical under the Egyptian sun, and Egypt was able to develop a sophisticated civilization thanks to it.

#4 The Nile was not just a source of Egypt's agricultural wealth, but also a great waterway that connected every settlement in the country.
