The Water World of Ancient Egypt
A true story stranger than fiction - told for the first time
A bucolic region used for food collection, seasonal grazing (cattle, sheep and goats) and craft production (boats, mats, paper and rope), it also yielded a year-round supply of water fowl and fish. Its center was probably at Memphis the capital established by Menes in 3000 BC. That town, located at the juncture of the Nile and at the apex of the Delta, was in a strategic position and was a place of feverish activity, with a port, Peru-nefer, workshops, factories and warehouses. It thrived as a regional center for commerce, trade, and religion and in later years became a center of papyrus paper production.
