901 -  O-Nile                                          

​

​

In Egyptian minds the Nile River was the creator of all that was good. 

​

"When the Nile River flooded, offerings were made to thee, birds were fattened for thee, and fish were offered to thee."

​

"So it is, O-Nile, art thou the waters who allowed man to live."
