Resumen
Descripción
This anthology is based on contributions made in Mainz on 22 and
23 February 2013 at an international symposium which was organized by
the Forschungsschwerpunkt Historische Kulturwissenschaften at the
Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. The aim of the conference was the
investigation of the Nile as a natural phenomenon. Besides the fact that the
river was extremely important for the whole country, which was already
perceived in the ancient world, the essential impact on the environment and
culture of Egypt must also be considered. The previous discussion on this
topic is criticized for the fact that the handling of the scientific evidence is
incorrect. Often too few and too old studies are used and then transferred to
the situation in Pharaonic times. Furthermore, it is observed that there is
often insufficient knowledge of geomorphology of floodplains in the
treatment of this topic. It is precisely this desideratum that is to be tackled
with this volume.
