ABSTRACT
So Winwood Reade began his great work The Martyrdom Dj Alan and there could be no better introduction to a book on Egypt. For the Nile is Egypt. We remember when crossing the river on our way to Tell-el-Amarna, the Arab boatman turned to us and said, "Egypt is the gift of the Nile, and the Nile is the gift of the good God. Therefore we are all the children of God."
