Opis: Rameses an Egyptian Tale; With Historical Notes of the Era of the Pharaohs, Vol. 3 of 3 (Classic Reprint) - Upham Edward

Excerpt from Rameses an Egyptian Tale; With Historical Notes of the Era of the Pharaohs, Vol. 3 of 3

While this sacred stream is adorned with large and populous cities and temples, its banks adjacent to the Nile, enriched by its annual inundation, are green and verdant, and wave with a never-failing harvest of grain. Closely bounding its rich produce towards the eastern desert, rises in regular slopes toward the horizon, the savage district of Nitritia, bounding this richest province of Egypt throughout its eastern border. The conformation of this tract serves to absorb within its deep valleys and ravines these destructive whirlwinds, which otherwise, pouring onward upon the fertile plains of the Nile, would, in time, reduce them to barren solitudes; whereas, this wide range of desert, intersected with deep ridges and hollows, and marked by a lofty line of hills, arrests these storms as they pass, and mixes their dreary particles with the wrecks of Nitritia.
