The Ancient Egyptian Great Canal

"Egypt is the Gift of the Nile" once claimed Herodotus. To them, it provided food, resources, and land for agriculture. As such, its control was of vital importance to Egypt’s existence - so how did ancient Egypt control the Nile?

Sound provided by Jonatan Järpehag: "Cleopatra"

My favourite time in Egypt's development is 20.000 BC, when the Sahara wasn't a desert.

It was called 'Joseph's Canal' for a reason. Recognize the name from the Biblical patriarchs?

Great video!! One suggestion though, would be to show the route of the canal, and where exaclty the depression was, as that wasn’t super clear. Other than that, loved it!!
