SUMMARY |
The longest river on the planet, the Nile flows from the heart of the continent, through a land with a history as rich as the river is long. This river has written its story across the landscape as it forges its way north, uniting worlds of mountain, jungle, marsh and desert. Performing a yearly miracle, by bringing a great flood of water and fertile soil to a desert, the Nile gave mankind its first great civilisation - Ancient Egypt. It changed the world forever. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand it. The ancient Egyptians thought it was magic - a gift of the gods. Obsessive Victorian explorers endured unimaginable hardships in their search for its source. Now we can reveal the true nature of the river and the reasons behind its magic - a magnificent and diverse mosaic of strange places and fascinating animals, stretching far back into some of the remotest corners.. |
