The ancient Egyptians flourished for thousands of years because of the resources from the Nile River. Little is known about the details of the ancient Nubians, since they did not develop their own writing system; instead, they gradually adopted the Egyptian system from their northern neighbors. However liberating this cultural tug and war game may feel, few of the people initiated are actually learning something meaningful and in the worst cases, exhibit prejudices that further compartmentalize the Pan-Afrikan experience into a culturally naive and nostalgic perspective. This brings me to the questions that Exploding the Myths and countless others like it have inspired, though not deliberately: why aren't other Afrikan civilizations and concepts explored, especially those in the Southern region of Afrika?

The Nile today stretches 6,650 kilometers (4,132 miles) and is believed to be the longest river in the world. From their rise to their fall, he acts as a muse for history, stopping along at key moments to contemplate various details, such as their mark on other civilizations, including our own. If you have ever questioned what you have learned in school (especially history class), this is the book for you!The most iconic achievements of Egyptian civilization are the towering pyramids at Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The region was known as Nubia, present-day southern Egypt, and northern Sudan, spanning from the Nile River Valley to the Red Sea. Nile River Valley: The Nile River Valley is the area surrounding the river that is susceptible to flooding.

The Nile River Valley includes not just the river, but the surrounding banks and low lands that benefit from the river flooding. Explains the historical background of Machiavelli's life and the political context within which he wrote The Prince. The river provided a predictable schedule for the flooding season from June to September, following the monsoons in the highlands. This created excellent agricultural land along the banks of the Nile, an area that otherwise would have been desert.

Coalescing out of the smaller cultures residing alongside the river, historians consider the Egyptian period to have begun after the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, the Southern and Northern Nile River Valley, respectively, and the beginning of the Old Kingdom, sometime between 3100 and 3050 B. Exploding the Myths shines when Browder focuses on what he has lived and breathed: the field of Egyptology.
