Horner's findings suggested that fragments of pottery found in Nile sediment layers dated back approximately 13,500 years.
Horner measured how fast the Nile sediment rose there.
In 1854 a boring at the statue went down 39 feet through true Nile sediment, and at the bottom it brought up a small fragment of pottery.
In other parts of the Nile delta similar remains were found at all depths down to seventy feet.
Architecture and Engineering: Menes' reign saw impressive feats such as the redirection of the Nile to build Memphis, highlighting the advanced engineering skills of ancient Egyptians.
We have our roots on the Nile.
Both the Nile of the earth and the Nile above the earth.
The heliacal rising of Taurus announced the flooding of the Nile.
The Nile River does not have seven separate rivers leading into the Mediterranean Sea.
In ancient times the Nile Delta had seven main distributaries that carried the river's water into the Mediterranean.
The Nile is one river system whose delta splits into several distributaries before it reaches the sea.
Herodotus, known as the "Father of History", writes about the Nile and its branches in Book II of his Histories.
as far as the city of Kercasoros the Nile flows in one single stream, but from this city onwards it is parted into three ways; and one, which is called the Pelusian mouth, turns towards the East; the second of the ways goes towards the West, and this is called the Canobic mouth; but that one of the ways which is straight runs thus,—when the river in its course downwards comes to the point of the Delta, then it cuts the Delta through the midst and so issues out to the sea.
The Greek geographer Strabo describes Egypt and the Nile Delta at length in Book XVII of his Geography.
Now these are two mouths of the Nile, of which one is called Pelusiac and the other Canobic or Heracleiotic; but between these there are five other outlets, those at least that are worth mentioning, and several that are smaller; for, beginning with the first parts of the Delta, many branches of the river have been split off throughout the whole island and have formed many streams and islands, so that the whole Delta has become navigable
Pliny the Elder also describes the Nile and its mouths in Book V of his Natural History, giving a Roman view of the geography of Egypt.
Archaeological and geoarchaeological work has reconstructed the historical geography of the Nile Delta and how its branches changed over the centuries.
The Hyksos Expulsion refers to the series of events during the 16th century BCE when the native Egyptian rulers of the Eighteenth Dynasty successfully drove out the Hyksos, a foreign dynasty that had taken control of the northern part of Egypt, including the Nile Delta region.
The Hyksos established the Fifteenth Dynasty in Egypt and ruled from their capital, Avaris, in the Nile Delta.
Moses: According to the biblical account, Moses' mother placed him in a basket and set him adrift in the Nile River to save him from the Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants.
For example, the Nile turning to blood can be associated with the red algae blooms or red silt, and the plagues of frogs, lice, and flies could correspond to ecological imbalances.
This marks the approximate beginning of the pre-dynastic period, which is based on archaeological evidence of early settlements and cultural development in the Nile Valley.
The Badarian culture is named after the site of El-Badari, located on the east bank of the Nile River in Upper Egypt.
Location: Naqada is located on the west bank of the Nile River, approximately 26 kilometers north of Luxor.
Menes is the first king who founded Memphis and constructed a dam and digged a deep and wide canal redirecting the Nile.
Herodotus describes Menes' significant engineering achievement of creating a dam to divert the Nile River, which allowed the establishment of Memphis.
Memphis and the Nile:
Similar to Herodotus, Diodorus notes Menes' engineering works, including the construction of a dam to control the Nile's flooding and protect the new city.
He then marched with such troops as would follow him and encamped in Pelusium at the mouth of the Nile; here he was joined by a multitude of field mice, which devoured all the quivers and bowstrings of the enemy, and the handles of their shields, so that on the morrow, being unarmed, they were easily overcome" .
"He compelled his subjects to labor for him, some to drag stones from the quarries in the Arabian mountain to the Nile, and others to receive them and transport them to the mountain of Libya."
Known for attempting to dig a canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea.
"Among the earliest known types is the crux ansata, vulgarly called 'the key of the Nile,' because of its being found sculptured or otherwise represented so frequently upon Egyptian and Coptic monuments.
The reader will not have failed to observe that it is most usually associated with water; it was 'the key of the Nile,' that mystical instrument by means of which, in the popular judgment of his Egyptian devotees, Osiris produced the annual revivifying inundations of the sacred stream; it is discernible in that mysterious pitcher or vase portrayed on the brazen table of Bembus, before-mentioned, with its four lips discharging as many streams of water in opposite directions; it was the emblem of the water-deities of the Babylonians in the East and of the Gothic nations in the West, a
Why should these extraordinary structures crop out on the banks of the Nile, and amid the forests and plains of America?
He conceived the use to which pyramids in particular were anciently applied to have been threefold--namely, as tombs, temples, and observatories; and this view he labors to establish in the third volume of his 'Indian Antiquities.' Now, whatever may be their actual date, or with whatsoever people they may have originated, whether in Africa or Asia, in the lower valley of the Nile or in the plains of Chaldea, the pyramids of Egypt were unquestionably destined to very opposite purposes.
He considers the analogy established in eleven particulars, as follows: 1, the site chosen is the same; 2, the structures are orientated with slight variation; 3, the line through the centres of the structures is in the astronomical meridian; 4, the construction in grades and steps is the same; 5, in both cases the larger pyramids are dedicated to the sun; 6, the Nile has "a valley of the dead," as in Teotihuacan there is "a street of the dead;" 7, some monuments in each class have the nature of fortifications; 8, the smaller mounds are of the same nature and for the same purpose; 9, both pyramids have a small mound joined to one of their faces; 10, the openings discovered in the Pyramid of the Moon are also found in some Egyptian pyramids; 11, the interior arrangements of the pyramids are analogous.
It was linked with the flooding of the Nile and with creation.
Ancient civilizations, like those in Egypt, built temples along natural energy lines, like those of the Nile River, to align with these powerful earth energies.
This occurred just before the annual flooding of the Nile and the summer solstice, after a 70-day absence from the skies.
JJ and Matias claim that some temples along the Nile align with the chakras in our bodies.
The term "upper" might seem counterintuitive, but it is based on the flow of the Nile River, which originates from the highlands in the south and flows northward to the Mediterranean Sea.
It is "lower" in elevation and "downstream" along the Nile's course.
This region includes the Nile Delta, where the river fans out into multiple branches before entering the Mediterranean Sea.
It means "The Black Land," a reference to the fertile black soils deposited by the Nile's annual flooding, in contrast to the surrounding desolate desert, "Deshret" or "The Red Land."
Khem, also known as Kemet, was the ancient name for Egypt, often translated as "the Black Land," referring to the rich, fertile soil along the Nile.
Khnum was a god of the source of the Nile River, Satis was his consort, and Anuket, their daughter, was associated with the Nile and its nourishment of the land.
Kemet is the fertile Nile country named for dark silt after the flood.
Khem (with Kemet / Km.t) is the native Egyptian name for the fertile Nile land.
km means “black.” The name points to the dark Nile silt after inundation.
Inundation is the Nile flood that left the dark soil.
The Black Land is a working Nile civilization, not only a desert myth.
Nile as Tulifa (Matias de Stefano) and as “spine of the world.” The river is the life-line of Khem.
The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean.
Meaning: green Sahara, a different Nile outlet, and a rearranged Atlantic / American map in the Atlantean era.
Black Land / Nile fertility sits beside Egypt and flood / creation neighbors.
Cayce Sahara–Nile geography sits beside Atlantis destruction and flood pages such as Altai Flood.
What is Khem?Khem is the Black Land: Egyptian Kemet (Km.t), the fertile Nile country named for dark silt.
What does Kemet mean?Kemet (Km.t) is conventionally “the Black Land.” km means “black.” The name points to dark Nile silt after inundation, set against Deshret, the Red Land / desert.
What does Cayce say about the Sahara and the Nile?In reading 364-13, Cayce says the Nile entered the Atlantic Ocean and that what is now the Sahara was inhabited and very fertile in the Atlantean-era geography he describes.
Between 8,000 and 6,000 B.C., Jericho was considered the preliminary stage for urban high civilizations, although Egyptologists suspect an even older culture in the Nile valley.
375) is antiquity, beginning with the rise of the high civilizations in the river oases of the lower Nile and between the Euphrates and Tigris where man develops into historical existence.
John Baldwin wrote in his book “PreHistoric Nations” (1869): “The early colonists of Babylonia were of the same race as the inhabitants of the Upper Nile.”
The river Nile used to be more wide, more open, bigger and much more water.
The loss of conciousness and the polytheism that started to create a new idea of the temples of the holy places in the River Nile.
Ancient Egypt: The ancient Egyptians, around 5,000 years ago, practiced advanced agricultural techniques along the Nile River.
They used a combination of silt deposits from the annual flooding of the Nile and natural composting to enrich their soil.
