Elisabeth's class trip to Nile-o-meter
We went to the pharonic village, took a nile cruise, learned how to make papyrus and saw the Nile-o-meter. It was pretty cool. The Egyptian culture teacher from the school was extremely knowledgeable and I just saw and took it all in. Below are pictures of the Nile-o-meter and an example of the oldest preserved arabic writing in Egypt. The Nile-o-meter was used to measure how high the Nile would flood, predicting how prosporous the people would be that year. It was incredible technology for that age and it is still used today to predict how the water supply in Egypt is doing.
