Do not throw a stone into the sacred river of life, so that you do not defile the wealth of your life, anger God, and stop the flood

And drought resolves and livelihood stops

How beautiful it is for a person to know in order to preserve the purity of this great river

Our ancestors knew that the Nile originates from two gardens

The first in the east is the mountains of Abyssinia

Because the light of God shines from the east

The second in the west is Lake Nyanza in Uganda

Because the ship of the god Ra sits west

................

How beautiful is this river flowing between plateaus, valleys and deserts to give Egypt life for it and for its people

It also supplies Egypt with fertile mud and silt suitable for agriculture, which make the soil very rich

Even the word clay or soil is an Egyptian word meaning (the blood of life)

...................

From them come food, clothing, construction and raising the animals and birds on which they live in their daily lives

They knew the time from the Nile

They divided the year into three seasons, the planting season, the harvest season, and the summer season

This also tells us that agriculture in ancient Egypt was the cradle of the Egyptian industry, from which it produced everything that the Egyptian citizen needs in his daily life

The Egyptian industry came out of its cultivation
