HISTORY OF THE NILE RIVER


"Egypt was the gift of the Nile," wrote the Greek historian Herodotus. It was a never-ending source of sustenance and played an important role in the development of Egyptian civilization. The surrounding land was very fertile because the river overflowed its banks annually and deposited new layers of silt. Around the Nile, the Ancient Egyptians cultivated and traded wheat, flax, papyrus, and other crops. Wheat was an important crop in the famine-stricken Middle East. 

The Nile was also significant in ancient Egyptian spiritual life. Hapi was the god of the annual floods, and both he and the pharaoh were thought to have control over them. The Nile was thought to be a conduit from life to death and the afterlife. As the Sun, Ra, underwent birth, death, and resurrection each day as he crossed the sky, the east was thought to be a place of birth and growth, and the west was thought to be a place of death. As a result, all tombs were west of the Nile, because Egyptians believed that in order to enter the afterlife, one had to be buried on the side that represented death. Source


THE NILE HERITAGE KNOWLEDGE FROM THE ANCIENT

MOVIE AND NOVEL :  THE DEATH ON THE NILE

The Nile River on the novel  wrote by by British writer Agatha Christie  - Death on the Nile is a work of detective fiction.

Death On The Nile movies start with The Doyle-Ridgeway couple took a luxury yacht trip down the Nile with Ridgeway's friends and relatives, who kept many secrets from them.

This dramatic tale of love that ends in misfortune is set in the beautiful landscape of the vast desert and the majestic pyramids of Giza, and features an elegant cosmopolitan group of tourists with a story filled with mystery and surprises that will keep viewers curious until the very end.

"This is one of Agatha Christie's most complicated books; a tragic love story that has many glamorous sides, but is very fragile, dangerous and destructive. It is this theme that we want to present to audiences on the big screen," said Kenneth Branagh
