Title: Bell-ringer

Bell-ringer Draw a map.
  • The source of the Nile is Lake Victoria in the
    south. The river runs northward and at its mouth
    in branches out like an open flower. This area is
    called the delta and is known as lower Egypt.
    The land closer to the source is called upper
    Egypt.

Bell-ringer - Thursday
  • For the life-giving rays of the sun that caused
    the crop to grow could also cause it to shrivel
    and die. And the river that invigorated the soil
    with its life-giving silt could destroy whatever
    lay in its path or, if it failed to rise
    sufficiently, bring famine. The sun and the
    river, moreover, shared in the pattern of death
    and rebirth the sun died when it sank on the
    western horizon only to be reborn in the
    eastern sky the following morning. And the
    death of the land followed by the germination
    or rebirth of the crops each year were directly
    connected with the rivers annual flood.
