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.
