Welcome to my blog!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as you take a float down the Nile! Look at pictures, learn definitions, read through fun facts, and even vote on the polls! Enjoy the ride...
Definitions
- Debens- A way to measure the amount of value in a product while trading on the Nile River
- Incubating- Keeping unborn/undeveloped babies in the mouth to provide warmth and other conditions to help them develop underwater
Fun Facts!
- The Nile River flows through 8 different countries!
- The Nile is 4189 miles long!!! It can stretch across the U.S.!!!
- The Nile Delta is 120 miles wide!
- The Aswan Dam's construction started in the 1960's and ended in 1970.
- Lake Nasser is the second largest man-made lake in the world!
- For over 2,ooo years, Egypt and Sudan have not made an agreement on who has the rights to the river. They even say that they would go to war to gain control!
- Dowstream, the flood is not as strong after the dam was built, so their crops are dead dry.
Does the Nile flow through swamps or desert?
How many people live around the Nile's delta, near Cairo, Egypt?
Would you want the Aswan dam to be built?
