Excerpt: ... appear like flashing diamonds, rubies and emeralds. The sizing of the grains is very uniform, running water being even more efficient as a sizing agent than the wind. An interesting observation may be made when the river is low and its surface slightly agitated by the wind; at such times there frequently extends a narrow band of dark leaden-grey metallic-looking sand, covering the surface of the bank a few centimetres from the average water-fine. If this be scraped off and dried, it will be found to be strongly magnetic, and consists, in fact, as its specific gravity and a microscopic examination tell us, of magnetite. At certain times one may select a bucketful of nearly pure magnetite in a few minutes by scraping the surface of the low shelving bank in this way. The sandbank which formed on the east side of Philoe in the summer of 1902 yielded an abundant supply, but probably any other of the Cataract islands would do equally well. The separation is due to the gentle lapping of the water over the surface of the bank, whereby the lighter minerals are slowly washed out and the magnetite is left at the extreme limit touched by the water. A similar separation of hornblende may be noticed at some points, but is less marked owing to the lower density of that mineral as compared with magnetite. By Nile mud is signified that material, brought down in suspension and deposited by the Nile, which coheres on drying into a tough solid mass. It embraces all the finer material which is deposited from still or slowly flowing water in natural pools, artificial basins, or canals. While the river-sand last described is firm to the foot immediately after deposition, Nile mud when freshly deposited is a soft, sticky mass into which one easily sinks....

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blackened Rocks of the Nile Cataracts and of the Egyptian Deserts The writer was led in the first instance to take up the study of this subject by having his attention drawn to some specimens of crystalline rock in the Cairo Geological Museum, which showed a peculiar black polished film on the outer surface. Of the specimens one was a coarse-grained red granite from the First,or Aswan, Cataract of the Nile,and the others were a fine-grained red granite, a basalt and a dolerite respectively, all from the Second Cataract, above Wadi-Halfa. Two visits were subsequently made to Aswan at a time of the year when the river down-stream of the new dam was at its lowest level and when the rocks in the river channel were most exposed. Under these conditions the intense jet-black colour of the rocks forms one of the most noticeable features of the cataract area. The smaller rocks arc entirely black, shine brilliantly, and have the general appearance of masses of coal or blocks of pitch, while the larger rocks show a broad band of polished black immediately above the water level. This remarkable phenomenon has been commented on by many different writers and the following references may be quoted : - "The granite rocks at the Cataract of Aswan have a very thin, dark-black, shining surface-coating, which gives them the appearance of having been pitched." "Les rochers qui sont baignes une partie de I'annee par les eaux du Nil sont quelqucfois revêtus à leur exterieur d'une espece d'enduit noir lisse et brillant."

Book excerpt: From Herodotus's day to the present political upheavals, the steady flow of the Nile has been Egypt's heartbeat. It has shaped its geography, controlled its economy and moulded its civilisation. The same stretch of water which conveyed Pharaonic battleships, Ptolemaic grain ships, Roman troop-carriers and Victorian steamers today carries modern-day tourists past bankside settlements in which rural life – fishing, farming, flooding – continues much as it has for millennia. At this most critical juncture in the country's history, foremost Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes us on a journey up the Nile, north from Lake Victoria, from Cataract to Cataract, past the Aswan Dam, to the delta. The country is a palimpsest, every age has left its trace: as we pass the Nilometer on the island of Elephantine which since the days of the Pharaohs has measured the height of Nile floodwaters to predict the following season's agricultural yield and set the parameters for the entire Egyptian economy, the wonders of Giza which bear the scars of assault by nineteenth-century archaeologists and the modern-day unbridled urban expansion of Cairo – and in Egypt's earliest art (prehistoric images of fish-traps carved into cliffs) and the Arab Spring (fought on the bridges of Cairo) – the Nile is our guide to understanding the past and present of this unique, chaotic, vital, conservative yet rapidly changing land.
