When you look at the history of the Nile and the history of the Red River you begin to realize how much difference there can be between the world's regions.
A more apt comparison is the Nile vs. the Mississippi. But, of course, the glories of Minneapolis, St Louis, Memphis and New Orleans are not going to be able to compete with the magnificence of the Nilotic culture.
Egypt lies at one of the world's great crossroads. The Egyptians are a mixture of Africans, Semites (Jews and Arabs), Persians and Arabians.
