Description:
From Herodotus's day to the present political upheavals, the steady flow of the Nile has been Egypt's heartbeat. It has shaped its geography, controlled its economy and moulded its civilisation. The same stretch of water which conveyed Pharaonic battleships, Ptolemaic grain ships, Roman troop-carriers and Victorian steamers today carries modern-day tourists past bankside settlements in which rural life - fishing, farming, flooding - continues much as it has for millennia.


At this most critical juncture in the country's history, foremost Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes us on a journey up the Nile, north from Lake Victoria, from Cataract to Cataract, past the Aswan Dam, to the delta. The country is a palimpsest, every age has left its trace- as we pass the Nilometer on the island of Elephantine which since the days of the Pharaohs has measured the height of Nile floodwaters to predict the following season's agricultural yield and set the parameters for the entire Egyptian economy, the wonders of Giza which bear the scars of assault by nineteenth-century archaeologists and the modern-day unbridled urban expansion of Cairo - and in Egypt's earliest art (prehistoric images of fish-traps carved into cliffs) and the Arab Spring (fought on the bridges of Cairo) - the Nile is our guide to understanding the past and present of this unique, chaotic, vital, conservative yet rapidly changing land.

Mr. Beast snacks - Yes Please!
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Mr. Beast snacks are delicious and protein forward. Great for when you’re on the go and don’t want sugary snacks. They come in convenient packs you can throw in your bag and they stay fresh if you don’t eat them right away- living in Florida- that’s important. I highly recommend this product.

Small amount but great food product
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have bought MrBeast stuff, mostly for my kids, and was never disappointed in the flavor and quantity. This time, however, the bags are small. I should have read correctly, so it is my fault. In my head, Mr. Beast's stuff is usually a good amount with better ingredients for a reasonable price. This time, it was not a reasonable price for the amount you get. However, I would buy again for two reasons: #1 they taste great and feel more filling and lighter than other brands I normally eat, and #2 my wife can't stomach a lot of food, especially since she had her gallbladder removed. But with these sticks, she not only can eat them, but somehow she feels and looks more energetic. Maybe she is just getting a good source of protein that is harder for her to get when she can't stomach other protein foods.

Great mixed box
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The jerky is my favorite jerky I ever had and I really like the mixed box because you get alil bit of everything. The jerky sticks are flavored nicely but the actual jerky is so freaking good. The flavor is good but it's the texture i love. It's not too soft but also not too hard.
