Egypt embraces the wind power..
Egypt embraces the wind power..
The wind pushes it upward.
Normally up river - from the sea, north to south
The dominant wind in ancient Egypt typically blew from the north toward the south. This meant that when the Egyptians traveled upriver on the Nile, they could raise their sails to take advantage of these north winds, which helped propel their ships southward against the current of the river.
In the drawing depicting ancient ships on the Nile River, the sailboats would likely travel southward, using the wind to propel them against the current. The tugs and barges, which typically move cargo, would also head south, likely utilizing the wind and their own power to navigate the river's flow. The combination of the river's south-to-north current and the strong northerly wind would influence the direction and speed of their movement.
No particular time of the year, but is usually stronger during the day.
Slaves walked alongside the river and used donkeys and ropes to pull the boats. YOU'RE SO VERY WELCOME XOXOOX
The western Sahara has several underground rivers that flow from the Atlas and other mountains, occasionally coming above ground at oases where they provide irrigation for crops. The Nile River borders portions of the Shara Desert to the East
Because the boats will either go only one way or the other, either by wind or by the current of the river
The sailboat, barge, and tugs on the Nile River typically travel northward, as the river flows from south to north. However, the specific direction may vary depending on local conditions, such as currents and wind. Additionally, tugs might navigate different routes to assist with barge transport or to maneuver through specific sections of the river.
The Nile River provided as a route of transportation. The water takes you north, and the wind takes you south. Other than Mesopotamia, the Nile River Vally has the richest soil. The Nile River also provided protection from other civilizations. Until they were conquered by the Harrapans who came from the north.
