Nile river is like a library of facts from ancient history when you read the writings of the scribes from the ancient Kingdoms and Dynasties of Egypt before. Though ancient recording has no scientific technique as to how relevant their recorded history, conflicting data and records in the famous library of Alexandria will challenge the British academics specifically in the field of Archeology and Anthropology to change the written history of the scribes from the ancient world. Presently, I can roughly consider these ancient scribes as an academic blogger who is eager to record events and phenomenon during their time to be of benefit in our modern world today. Civil laws and daily life during ancient Egypt transcend their moral values towards their religious beliefs and today modern historian are eager to find the myth and the religious records related to the famous Nile river that to some of the ancient scribes the political narratives of the great river are not clearly recorded in the available ancient and religious books of today.
Some of the modern researchers need to decode and unravel the mysteries of the Nile River. The book of Robert Twigger entertained the academic readers not only in London where the book the “Red Nile” is published but also the book of Robert Twigger captured the modern American readers that made his published book recognized in the Sunday Times. The text also used several important references from the ancient writings to be able for the author to compare and contrast and logically conclude the events written in the past and the modern findings of today from the various researchers from England and the West. The famous BOOK OF THE DEAD of NAKHT is referred by Twigger to show the recordings of the past during the time of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt 1350-1300 BC found in the British Museum. Relatively, many academics and even famous conquistadors of the world like Alexander the Great, Caesar, and even Hitler himself would like to control the politics and governance of Egypt during that time that the mystery of Nile captivates the European countries and also the countries in the Mediterranean.
On the contrary, the wildlife of the Nile will show how vast and beautiful the river flows from the streams of Egypt down to the Nile and the eventually to the Delta of the seas in the Mediterranean. Habitats that you can find in the surroundings of the Nile ecosystem will surely captivate the reader of the book and even to the actual traveler of the Nile to ponder the many Wars, Peace, and even the Love Affair of Cleopatra and Caesar. Though the marriage of the two prominent personalities during that time is more of a political than natural love their relationship connects the nation’s relationship from Rome to Egypt. Cleopatra’s beauty defines and resembles the undefine beauty of the Nile that when you go upstream or going back downstream you can experience the variety of personality through the natural color presentation of the Nile. According to the book of Twigger, there are 3 types of color of the Nile that the gods gave naturally for the Nile river to be unique and one of its kind for the world to see.
The river is classified as Red Nile, Blue Nile, and White Nile. The change of watercolors will define the unique and natural existence of the Nile connecting Africa and the Middle East. In antiquity, the twin sources of the Nile- the Blue Nile and the White Nile were often confused when it came to naming the true source. The blue rises in Ethiopia, the White in central Africa. The Blue Nile, in the wet summer season, provides 85 percent of the water that crosses the Sahara Desert and enters Egypt. But in the dry winter season, the Blue Nile’s contribution is negligible, less than 5 percent, and the White Nile is the main provider. So, in summer you could argue the Blue Nile is the source and in the winter the White Nile. World history’s blueprint is in the region of the Nile and in Egypt going to the regions of Ethiopia and Alexandria. Part of my blog (https://avantgardebyryanf.blogspot.com/2018/12/suez-pacific-crisis-playing-funky-cha.html) discussed the importance of the waters of the Mediterranean region for transport and source of water irrigation for the various national agricultural projects and engineering.
As what the British government is always wanting to be a part in developing the lands surrounding the Nile river, means that the habitat in the Nile river is lucrative to the modern science and civilization development. The government system of Egypt is also a surprising issue both politically and theoretically knowing that the world civilization started in Egypt. The library of Alexandria is a place where the stored academic records of the past are emphatically stored in the physical shelves and archives of the famous library. I am sure that the library in Alexandria will give information for the world what the Nile gave to the early civilization of mankind. On another note, what are the reasons why the Roman Empire dominated the regions of the Nile until the time of Alexander the Great that until today the glory of Egypt in the region of the Nile can’t be felt even to the citizens of Egypt?
Cleopatra and Julius Caesar
Cleopatra and Julius Caesar
Divided Egypt shows the national chaos during the time of Nasser that the chances for European countries such as France and England are in a high percentage to intrude the national diplomacy in the region granting that the government’s instability in imposing the laws is far manageable in a democratic way. People during the time of Nasser do not trust the government but instead, the frailties of the nation welcome the foreign diplomats to help and of course make business deals to take advantage in the riches of the Nile River. Thus, until today the irrigation program of the Nile requires foreign engineers from the various programs of the bilateral given the fact that scientific advances to manage the Nile region requires the advance studies of England and the West.
Going back to the motives of Cleopatra during the time of Caesar when Cleopatra agreed to have also their relationship with Herod, it is not all about love but the political love of the country. Furthermore, Cleopatra even married Mark Anthony knowing that Mark Anthony has the cravings of power in the center of Rome that by then Cleopatra knows if Mark Anthony can control Rome, he can control the Mediterranean and Egypt as well. Do you think the little Dragon can also make the political marriages in the region of the Pacific knowing that smaller countries in the Pacific are confused as to what countries they will ally during the time of political conflicts such as the America and China? As for Cleopatra, when she sided with Rome all the diplomatic benefits, she received are all for the people of Egypt who benefited from the diplomatic alliance with the Roman empire.
The Empire of Jerusalem as well is in trouble with the war with the Arab countries at that time, thus they need to be a good ally with the Roman Empire as well. On another note, during the time of the great world events that happened in the river many scribes and historian contributed to the recording of the events in the Nile region. No videos or any high technology recording but scribes and historian rely on the basic writing and drawing of symbols and pictures to depict the meaning of the given event during that time. Thus, as of today many historians from London and the USA are clever enough to read those ancient letters and symbols according to the historical meaning during that time.
A Greek historian and a famous traveler by the name of Herodotus traveled towards the region of the Nile that by recording all the events during that time I can resemble that man to Marco Polo the traveler in the Kingdom of the Khans and today we can compare Herodotus to a modern simple blogger. Getting the information during the travel of Herodotus gathered much information that contributed to the history of the Nile. The political conflict both international and national of Egypt’s foreign policies are affected by the subcultures of the region and the many ecological events that happened around Egypt both in Nile River and the Suez Canal. The unexplained character of the Nile by many historians from the past made the river more magnificent.
From the Blue Nile, it became White Nile and finally, Red Nile with all the scientific explanation with will give a conflicting idea to the biblical records of the stories of Moses. Nile river became for of a scientific specimen of today by many scientists than a spiritual symbol of the past like the writings of Herodotus. But despite all the intoxicating mystery of Nile’s history, Nile gave love to mankind that even the love of Cleopatra to Caesar made Egypt free from the diplomatic invasion of the Roman Empire at that time. Moreover, the love of Cleopatra during the days of the invasion of Alexander the Great and even during the time of the German war and during the time of Hitler, the love of Cleopatra remains in the mysterious stairs of dreams from the delta up to the main streams in the region of the Africas.
Until today the philosophical meaning of the Nile river cannot merge to the historical past that the river molded many beliefs that men can’t even fathom until this very day. Likewise, the interest of the scientist to explore more of the agriculture riches of Egypt as to why during the time of Joseph the people of Egypt survive in the great famine during that time. The river Nile is the source of water for the farmland of Egypt that the engineering of water irrigation at that time is so advance from the stored information and knowledge of the library of Alexandria. But as of today, Egypt is in a confused country after the historical conflict of the Suez during the time of Nasser. Egypt today rely on the modern science and technology of England, France, specifically the United States parallel to the events when Cleopatra agreed to be an ally with the Roman Empire.
Many infrastructures today in the river Nile and even the Suez Canal are investments from the West and European conglomerates knowing that technology and research knowledge are far richer in European countries and the US. But gradually the investments from Chinese and Russian conglomerates are also creeping the streams of the Nile and its political bodies. Do you think that the history of Nasser and Mubarak will repeat again? The conflict of the Nile will resemble the political conflicts of the Suez Canal, Pacific, Mediterranean seas, and specifically the conflict of Ukraine and Moscow. Do you think the little dragon in the Pacific has a big role like Nasser in the conflict of the Suez and the Nile? Or who will be the new Cleopatra of the Pacific that beauty and brains will unite in peace the countries along the Pacific? Just like Cleopatra, she was able to tame the Roman aggression in the East with the love and beauty that resembles that of the Nile River. Is your political beauty resembling that with the Nile River?
Rivers are like stairs of dreams that every step you go up or downstream it is vaguely clear to the narratives of human emotions…..
