• The source of the Nile is Lake Victoria in the
  south. The river runs northward and at its mouth
  in branches out like an open flower. This area is
  called the delta and is known as lower Egypt.
  The land closer to the source is called upper
  Egypt.

Bell-ringer - Thursday

• For the life-giving rays of the sun that caused
  the crop to grow could also cause it to shrivel
  and die. And the river that invigorated the soil
  with its life-giving silt could destroy whatever
  lay in its path or, if it failed to rise
  sufficiently, bring famine. The sun and the
  river, moreover, shared in the pattern of death
  and rebirth the sun died when it sank on the
  western horizon only to be reborn in the
  eastern sky the following morning. And the
  death of the land followed by the germination
  or rebirth of the crops each year were directly
  connected with the rivers annual flood.
