Product Information

This study guide was designed as a vehicle for an iin depth analysis and evaluation of the concept explored in nile valley contributions to civilization and is intended for use in classrooms, study groups and homes . However, as the name suggests, Browder is more concerned with reclaiming and defending the most famous of Afrikan civilizations: the people of Kemet. The well-documented whitening of Afrikan history is explored, and as a true critical thinker, Browder poses interesting questions without forcing us to accept his point of view.

Egyptians believe that the Nile River Valley resembles the image of the sacred lotus flower, which is a symbol of life and rebirth.C., although the first established ancient civilization did not occur in Nubia until the Kingdom of Kerma reigned over Nubia from 2500 B. In local lore, the river has been deemed as a gift from the gods, the Father of Life and Mother of All Men. It has shown me a wonderful world where god like people existed and ruled for thousands of years before the stolen and misinterpreted 'Adam and Eve' lie. There are 3 main tributaries that feed the Nile River valley: the Blue Nile, the White Nile, and the Atbara river. The river provided a predictable schedule for the flooding season from June to September, following the monsoons in the highlands.

Browder rarely falters, and instead of arriving at baseless assumptions, he always allows the critical mind to decide for itself, which is proof of his merit as an exemplar and true student of both his field and his personal beliefs. With respect to the deviations Exploding the Myths takes in its thesis, this behavior often relegates us to parroting out responses that coincide with what white supremacy has established as acceptable. The predictability of the Nile River flooding season, June - September, contributed to the survival of civilizations thriving for thousands of centuries. Coalescing out of the smaller cultures residing alongside the river, historians consider the Egyptian period to have begun after the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, the Southern and Northern Nile River Valley, respectively, and the beginning of the Old Kingdom, sometime between 3100 and 3050 B. The Nile River Valley includes not just the river, but the surrounding banks and low lands that benefit from the river flooding.In 1902, the Aswan Dam was built to stop the flooding of the river; the dam was enhanced and improved throughout the 1960s and 1970s. However liberating this cultural tug and war game may feel, few of the people initiated are actually learning something meaningful and in the worst cases, exhibit prejudices that further compartmentalize the Pan-Afrikan experience into a culturally naive and nostalgic perspective.

The Nile River no longer floods because the Aswan Dam was built, improved, and expanded throughout the 20th century. They can provide a place for a much-needed swim in the dog days of summer, a bounty for fishing enthusiasts, or even a cold drink of water, depending on the river's pollution levels. Since the beginning of time, myths have played a powerful role in the formation of institutions and shaping the beliefs, customs and religious right of humans. The Nile River continues to be the lifeline of North Africa, moving people and goods, while providing sustainability. The Nile River's seasonal flooding from the months of June through September deposited nutrient-rich soils along its banks, transforming an otherwise desert into excellent farmland and promoting sustained settlement.The Nubian people utilized the Nile River for agriculture developing irrigation and farming methods. Europeans have claimed the non-African creation of Egypt to downgrade the position of African people in world history. Without myths, life has little meaning, but when fabricated for the benefit of a "Chosen Few," myths become a detriment to humanity by impeding mental growth and understanding. Ancient Nubia prospered farther into modern times than Egypt, and some semblance of a Nubian empire existed until 350 A.
