In Egypt the name of a person was
the very quintessence of his being.
Those skilled in magic were power
less to work their incantations unless
they knew the name of the individual
whom they wished to conjure. Hence
the Nile alone had power over itself.
The intimacy with which the river
entered into the~familiar life of the
people Is shown by a very ancient
saying discovered in one of the
tombs, which reads like this
May the Nile pass into your dwell

The base represents the river, in
which may be seen the Nile boats,
the ibis, the stork, the hippopotamus,
the OK, the lotus, the ichneumon and

Egypt is the gift of the river" said
Herodotus. The Nile is the vital ar
terry of Egypt, fertilizing region
that it snatches from the desert,
adjoining it with plants and verdure,
making it one of the most productive
lands in the world.
In mythology, Father Nile was the
son of Oceanus, the god of water, who
was born of the union of Heaven and
Earth. The early Greeks believed the
earth to be fiat circle encompassed
by a river perpetually floating around
it. and this river was Oceanus, the
source of all rivers and waters in the
world.
Through all the centuries, to the
Western world the Nile had been an
absorbing problem: the Egyptians
alone of all peoples, ancient or mod
ern, have had no curiosity at all
about the Nile They considered II

worshiped the Nile not only as the
providing father of their country, but
also as the source of life THE sa-
cred liquid, the father of the gods,
they called it.
The ancient Egyptians believed the
Nile overlooked it's banks as the re-
suit of the tears of the great goddess
Isis weeping for her husband Osiris,
who was murdered by his brother
and his body thrown into the Nile.
While they built temples to all their
other gods, the Egyptians never
erected one to Father Nile. The Nile
had. however, its college of priests.
Herodotus says that when anyone
was drowned in the river or killed
by one of it's crocodiles the priests of
the Nile took possession of the body
and buried it with special rites, con-
sidering it something superhuman,
sacred.
The mystery with which the Egyp-
tians surrounded their river is shown
by the fact that they never had a
name for it. 1t was designated by a
word probably pronounced FLAP, !"
