Ancient Egypt's River Nile - Internet Superhighway of a civiization


 
River Nile, ancient superhighway



For me, ancient Egypt was a civilization connected by a superhighway, a network-of-networks linking sites of temples, palaces, government, markets, industry, construction and education. 

It was a geographic Internet and engine of economic, religious and technical growth, and of continuity.

The unique River Nile.
 
The Anson Hunter adventure novels - and other novels in my Egypt collection, cover the entire length and breadth and time span of Egypt - and the far reaches of its empire in Nubia... Cairo, the pyramids, the Sphinx, the tombs of Sakkara, Amarna, The Valley of the Kings, the temples of Abydos, Karnak, Dendera, Edfu, The Lost Labyinth of Egypt's Fayoum, Abu Simbel.


An early visit to the temple of Abydos
