520    A hypnotic journey in the company of one of the world's 
       most acclaimed Egyptologists over the fabled river telling
       how the Nile continually brought life to an ancient 
       civilization now dead and how it sustained its successors,
       now in tumult. Renowned Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson leads 
       us through space as much as time: from the river's 
       mystical sources (the Blue Nile which rises in Ethiopia, 
       and the White Nile coursing from majestic Lake Victoria); 
       to Thebes, with its Valley of the Kings, Valley of the 
       Queens, and Luxor Temple; the fertile Delta; Giza, home of
       the Great Pyramid, the sole surviving Wonder of the 
       Ancient World; and finally, to the pulsating capital city 
       of Cairo, where the Arab Spring erupted on the bridges 
       over the Nile. Along the way, he introduces us to 
       mysterious and fabled characters-the gods, godlike 
       pharaohs, emperors and empresses, who joined their fate to
       the Nile and gained immortality; the adventurers, 
       archaeologists, and historians who have all fallen under 
       its spell. With matchless erudition and storytelling skill,
       through a lens equal to both panoramas and close-ups, 
       Wilkinson brings millennia of history into view. 
520    Traces the history of the famous river to illuminate the 
       civilizations it renewed and sustained, documenting the 
       stories of real and fabled characters whose experiences 
       were intertwined with the Nile.
