The ancient Egyptians ruled a land that was a Paradise but, every fifty years, something would happen that made Egypt a very bad place. The river was the most reasonable to settle by. It provided many things such as rich farmland, moist air for the raising of the vine, not to say a gold mine for fishing. It was also a viable route into the Mediterranean basin, or Hades. The Delta at the time had seven heads, the farthest west being that of King Busiris. Actually, the Busiris was a settlement on the edge of Libya. The Nile, itself being one of the longest in the world, had a massive runoff as rainstorms in the interior burst out of Africa. As it entered Hades if eventually became one source and this was the passage to the interior. The interior was not as elevated as in modern times and the water ran to fill a massive lake called Lac Mer. Many a traveler used this route to new, unknown lands. There they would find folks who had gone on before. Many of these families had been decimated by the ferocity they had to face as they came in the most primitive of times. Many of the bloodlines that had were the remnant of the Rashi Empire. It was the influx of people from the west down the Western Nile and it was an important seaport. The Nile Delta was the jumping-off point of travel into the unknown.
