The geography that helped civilization develop there was because the ground was fertile, it was rich in minerals such a gold, copper, and stone, farmers thrived there, and the capital city, Kerma, was protected from invaders because of the nile cataracts.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the release of the Led Zeppelin song Stairway to Heaven, which is undoubtedly their magnum opus and biggest hit record of their career. The song was released as a single in January 1972 in the UK, two months after the release of their Led Zeppelin IV album.
Seven weeks later, when it moved to #68, the Hot 100 chart dated January 30, 1982, the single was now listed as Chariots of Fire and stayed with that name for the remainder of its chart run. The new title made it easier for both listeners and radio DJs to identify the piece.
