The Importance of the Nile River

How do natural features such as rivers, lakes and mountains help unite people or keep them isolated from each other?
Natural features like rivers, lakes and mountains can unite people by them meeting on the river when passing by. They can also help each other with fishing and they can also trade with one another because of the fish they catch. Another example, is that when the river over flows they get closer because they help one another in many different way like, they can help them get to a safer place or they would help them rescue there family and bring them to safety. The river can unite people in many ways. Mountains can unite people as well like they can, make people find each other on the mountain or they can go hunting together for mountain cat or goat. So now from all those examples you get an idea of how nature can bring people closer or even meet each other.

My trip down the Nile!!

My muscles soar after a long journey down the Nile from a fishing trip far away. The sun shone red as it settled behind the desert. I saw the shadow of a sphinx as I keep going. I hear the slaves arguing behind the sanguines.
Then i feel my boat jerk a bit, and then i automatically now that i got into a very strong and big current. When i lay down to rest a bit, i look up and see a full sky of stars as bright as a new diamond. When i wake up i look at the bank and then look at the cliffs that hang next to the Nile, i see shiny moonstone and i heard if you go South then, you end up in Nubia and the cliffs there have a lot of Granite. Then i feel a hard wind of sand hit my face and then i realize that there was a small sand storm. The water started to get stronger and more fierce. Then after  2 hours of strong winds i realize that i am in the Lower part/ the Nile Delta. My trip is over, that was the best 30 hours of my life.
