Description
As for the historical contribution of the Nile river, it hardly needs any extensive introduction. But as i did my research for the 1860 Atlas, I found that this great river has five distinct personalities; The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Crossroad and The “Start”. These personalities have defined the areas around the river and the trade that was conducted along its banks.
