People from Egypt, which is a country in the north-eastern corner of Africa, and one of the oldest countries there is.
That is a common misconception, but it's not true. The Chinese invented it. It was first mentioned by Yan Zhitui in 589 AD.
nothing special except with a compass you could find your way to the true north pole
You don't need to worry about declination to find true north; just observe the north star, and that's it. Perhaps you're starting with a magnetic compass and want to find true north? The correction factor is "magnetic variation", or "magvar", and this is printed on your charts.

The ancient Egyptians used the decimal number system.
To find the variation from true north, you can use a magnetic compass to determine the magnetic north and then calculate the angle between the magnetic north and the true north. This angle is known as the magnetic declination or variation. Many maps and GPS devices provide information about the current magnetic declination in a specific location.

The Nile River Runs from north to south, so they could ride the river on a boat.
One method to determine true north without a compass at night is by using the stars. You can locate the North Star (Polaris) which is positioned close to true north. Draw an imaginary line from the North Star to the ground to find where true north lies.
