Zusammenfassung:Narrates the history of cities that appeared and disappeared on the banks of the river Nile over four millenniaIncludes descriptions of individual buildings, archaeological sites, urban areas and their historiesBrings a new perspective to a much studied history and geography of the Nile basinFocuses on urban space by anchoring specific events in cites along the NileAnalyses the interplay between the natural, cultural and economic aspects of the Nile basinBeautifully illustrated with 100 colour photographs and 14 colour mapsThe Nile, the world's longest river system, has figured prominently in historic events over millennia. This book views the Nile as both the stage on which these events occurred and as an actor in its unfolding history. It explores the intersection of natural forces and human intervention to take readers on a series of historical journeys along the river, from its sources to the Mediterranean Sea. Each chapter focuses on a particular historical period and the cities, events, important figures and the encounters between groups and cultures that shaped it
