Either way, we're going to giddy up for the learning and we're going to go get her done right now. Alright guys, let's start where we always start when we're talking about civilizations and that is geography. And of course, we're going to need some water because water is really important. And just like Mesopotamia where we have the Tigris and Euphrates, we're going to have a river system that's going to be the heartbeat of Egyptian civilization and of course that is the Nile. Egypt is called the gift of the Nile for a reason. Now if we start with the very basics, the Nile runs about 4,100 miles and it actually flows from the south to the north. So it starts in what today would be Ethiopia, Tanzania, kind of the highlands of central eastern Africa and it runs its 4,000 mile journey into the Mediterranean Sea.
