The Nile.
Moses did not 'found' the River Nile. Nor did he find it.

no one really knows how Moses grew up, we just know that his mother put him in a basket, and put the basket in the river. the river took him to Pharoah's daughter, and later he, with God's help, delivered the Isrealites from Egypt.
No. The basket in the Nile story is associated with Moses. After the birth of Moses, his sister Miriam placed him in a reed basket and sent him up the Nile, hoping he would find a better life than he would have with their family. He was found by the pharaoh's daughter, and he was raised as a royal son. Moses was born centuries before Jesus.
Yes, Exodus 2:5-10 tells us of Pharaoh's daughter discovering Moses floating in the Nile river. Moses' sister, Miriam, suggested the idea of finding a Hebrew nurse to care for the child, Pharaoh's daughter agreed, and Miriam got her mother (Moses' mother) to do the job until Moses had grown. So Moses had regular contact with his mother growing up.
Miriam is the Hebrew name for Mary. Miriam is also Moses' sister, the one who watches while Pharaoh's daughter pulls baby Moses out of the water and then offers to find a wetnurse.
Nausicaa, daughter of the king of Phaecians, finds Odysseus next to a river on her island of Scheria.
In the Valley of the Pharaohs
See the Book of Exodus through Deuteronomy in the Old Testament. He was born to a Hebrew family during the time when the Hebrews worked for Pharaoh in Egypt doing slave labor. And the Pharaoh of that time, stressed over the large size of the Hebrew nation living in his land, decreed that all male babies were to be tossed into the Nile. Moses mother, like any good mom, hid him from the authorities and later built a small reed raft for him and set him afloat on the river. Moses older sister Miriam watched over the raft as it flowed down the river till it came to a place where Pharaoh's daughter was bathing. The princess saw the raft and had her attendants bring it to her, upon discovering the baby boy, she took it to be her own and named him Moses because she had drawn him out of the river. She took it as a sign from the river god that she had been given a child. The Princess then asked for someone to find her a nurse maid who would provide milk for the baby, Miriam came forward and offered the services of her mother (Moses real mom) so in a wonderful twist of fate, Moses got to be nursed by his mom for several more years. Moses grew up in the Pharaohs palace, learning and growing up to be a great Prince. One day, when trying to stop two slaves from fighting, he found he could not keep the man off the other so he killed him, buried him in the sand and hoped all would be well. But the one slave who saw what had happened, waned Moses that this would be his undoing and Pharaoh would have Moses killed as punishment. Moses learned of his Hebrew ancestry and then fled, for fear of his life. Moses fled across the Sinai to the land of Middian (now modern day Saudi Arabia) where he met the Priest of Middian, Jethro. Jethro took him in and taking a liking to him, offered him one of his daughters for a wife. Moses married the oldest daughter. From here Moses tends the flocks of sheep owned by Jethro and is later accosted by the curious sighting of a burning bush, where he comes literally face to face with JEHOVAH God, who tells Moses that He is the Great I AM who created the earth and the whole of heaven and that He had heard His people's cry for help in the land of Egypt and was sending Moses to be their leader and savior. The rest of the story is best read straight from the book of Exodus and on. So I encourage you to do so. You can also find information on Moses on-line and in history books or encyclopedias.
