gypt is the most populous country in the
world s most unstable region. It is the key
to Middle East peace, the voice of the Arab
world and the crossroads between Europe and Africa.
Its historical and strategic importance is unparalleled.
In short, Egypt matters. And the key to Egypt
-
its
colourful past, chaotic present and uncertain future
—
is the Nile...
From the days of the pharaohs to the present political
upheavals, the stead} flow of the
Ni ile
has been Egypt s
heartbeat. It has shaped its geography, controlled
its economy and moulded its civilisation. The same
stretch of water which conveyed pharaonic battleships,
Ptolemaic grain ships. Roman
tro
op
-carri
ers
and
Victorian steamers today carries modern-day tourists
past banksidc settlements in which rural life
-
farming
and fishing
—
continues much as it has for millennia.
At this most critical juncture in the country s history,
Egyptologist
Tob)
Wilkinson takes us on a journey
downriver from the First
Nľilc
Cataract to the delta
—
via the Milometer on the island of Elephantine which,
since the days of the pharaohs. has measured the
height of floodwaters to predict the following season s
agricultural yield and set the parameters for the entire
Egyptian economy; past the wonders of
Giza
which bear
the scars of assault by nineteenth-century archaeologists
and the modern-day unbridled urban expansion of
Cairo; from Egypt s earliest art (prehistoric Linages of
fish-traps carved into cliffs) to the recenr Arab Spring
(fought on the bridges of Cairo).
Egypt is a palimpsest
-
even age has left its trace
—
and Toby Wilkinson is our guide to understanding
the layers past and present of this unique, chaotic, vital.
conservative vet rapidly changing land.
