“The conclusion seems inescapable. When the ice advanced in Europe, silt began building up along the middle Nile, meaning that the river's flow was slackening, meaning that rainfall in Central Africa was diminishing. When the ice re-treated, rainfall picked up, and the quickening Nile began clearing its channel of the accumulated debris and carrying its silt downstream into Egypt.”
Claiborne’s absorbing narrative, an exploration of the how, when, and why of climate and its effects on man and history.
