Product Information

The major god most closely connected with the Nile was Osiris. In myth Osiris was a king of Egypt who was killed by his brother Seth on the river bank and cast into it in a coffin. His corpse was cut into pieces. Later, his sister and widow Isis succeeded in reassembling his body and reviving it to conceive a posthumous son, Horus. The Blue Nile, Sometimes Called Bahr El Ghazal, Originates In Ethiopia And Runs Approximately 907 Miles. This Part Of The Nile Boasts Breathtaking Waterfalls As It Meanders Through The Highlands Into A Deep Gorge And Through Canyons. The Blue Nile Joins The White Nile In The Sudan City Capital Khartoum. The Confluence Of The Two Rivers Positions The City Of Khartoum As A Central Trading Center.

Egyptians Believe That The Nile River Valley Resembles The Image Of The Sacred Lotus Flower, Which Is A Symbol Of Life And Rebirth. The Greeks Named The Large Fanned Area Delta Because The Shape Of The Area Resembles The Greek Letter Delta Upside-down. These Nubian Kushite artefacts such as an incense burner, a Palace facade, and a King wearing the Southern Nubian Kushite Crown sitting on a Throne in a boat bearing the Royal standard of the Falcon God Horus suggest that s ince a unified Nubian Monarchy was already established at Ta-Seti by 3 800 BC, Ta Seti is the oldest Nile Valley Civilization and it provided the Template for Egyptian Kingship once Upper and Lower Egypt were later united under Narmer’s Dynasty.

As such, the importance of the Ancient Egyptian Nile Valley Civilization of Kemet reveals the important contributions of Pre-Colonial Africa to World Civilization. Evidence of the Ta-Seti Kingship in Ancient Nubia from the Qustul Tombs and Narmer Palette means Ta-Seti predates Ancient Egypt. Ivan van Sertima's arguments on an Afrikan presence in the Americas, which Browder relies on primarily for his arguments regarding Afrikan influence on Native American populations, especially the Olmecs, also have been debunked. As noted, Browder is more adept at challenging the biases of Eurocentrism and exploring its effect on our world history, Kemet's legacy, and Afrikan consciousness than he is at shaping a convincing global narrative of Kemetian influence.

The Nile was such a focal point to the ancient Egyptians that their calendar began the year with the first month of the flooding. The Egyptian religion even venerated a deity of flooding and fertility, Hapy, who was depicted as a chubby man with blue or green skin. Richard White, The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1996). He authored 49 books, primarily on Kemet and Nile Valley civilizations, and their influences on Western cultures and the world’s major religions (i.e., Judaism, Christianity, and Al-Islam). Ancient Civilizations Would Not Have Survived Without The Contributions Of The Nile River. Most Ancient Egyptian Cities Were Founded Along The Banks Of The Nile. The River Provided A Predictable Schedule For The Flooding Season From June To September, Following The Monsoons In The Highlands. The Floodwaters Could Rise Several Feet And Would Deposit Rich Silt Into The Soil.

Eventually, he helped to establish the school of Egyptology at the institution. The school of Egyptology at the University of Chicago is presently one of the world’s most premier programs on the study and science of Kemetic (Egyptian) history, religion and culture in today’s world. His work on the history of Kemet (Egypt) is great and credible. It is worth reading and studying. urn:lcp:nilevalleycivili0000nile:epub:3739cc3b-95a0-4cba-b264-aaf02ab768a8 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier nilevalleycivili0000nile Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t47q9c58c Invoice 1652 Isbn 0887386229 It is possible that the origins of the Ta-Seti Culture can be found in the Anu people who may have been the first group of people to settle the Nile Valley based on the Terra Neta Tile found at the Temple of Abydos. Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization is a remarkable and eye-opening book that explores the profound impact of the Nile Valley civilization on human history. With meticulous research and captivating storytelling, Browder takes readers on a journey through time, unraveling the extraordinary achievements and contributions of the ancient Nile Valley civilization. Exploding The Myths Is A Quintessential Read For Any And Everyone Who Claims Afrikan Descent. It Encapsulates The Key Ideology Of Afrocentrism Better Than Any Other Offers Before It. While Not A Perfect Book, This Work Otherwise Succeeds In Demonstrating That Collectively, People Of Afrikan Descent Have Contributed Greatly To The World.

The White Nile River Originates From The Freshwater Lake, Lake Victoria In Central Africa. The River Flows North For Approximately 1,295 Miles Before Meeting The Blue Nile River. Contrary To The Blue Nile, The White Nile River Is Calm And For Many Months Can Be Swamp-like Shallow Conditions. The Sobat River Is The Major Tributary That Feeds Into The White Nile. Christopher Morris, The Big Muddy: An Environmental History of the Mississippi and Its Peoples from Hernando de Soto to Hurricane Katrina (Oxford University Press, 2012). The Nile, which flows northward for 4,160 miles from east-central Africa to the Mediterranean, provided ancient Egypt with fertile soil and water for irrigation, as well as a means of transporting materials for building projects. Its vital waters enabled cities to sprout in the midst of a desert.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the SabbathBy 3100 BC the Nile Valley and Delta had coalesced into a single entity that was the world's first large nation state. As well as providing the region's material potential, the Nile and other geographical features influenced political developments and were significant in the development of Egyptian thought. White supremacy, and systemic racism, made the world, and us, believe that Afrikan people had no concept of a one God, or spirituality, or any real code of ethics or morals. But nothing can further from the truth. The area known as the Great Lakes region of East Africa contributed to world Civilization when it spawned what has been termed the Nile Valley Civilization.
