| Summary | "Egypt of the Pharaohs and of the Khedivé" by F. Barham Zincke is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work offers an exploration of Egypt's rich history, culture, and geography, with a focus on its ancient civilization and its transformation under the leadership of the Khedivé. The book serves as a travel companion, appealing to readers interested in gaining deeper insights into the land of the Pharaohs as well as its contemporary state during Zincke's time. The opening of the book provides an extensive introduction to the significance of the Nile River in shaping Egyptian civilization. It discusses the river's unique characteristics, such as not having any affluents and how its annual inundations make Egypt habitable and fertile. Zincke also touches on historical inquiries surrounding the origins of the Nile, reflecting on the theories posed by ancient scholars like Herodotus while assessing the implications of these theories for understanding the relationship between nature and man. This initial section establishes the author's intent to guide readers through the historical and physical landscapes of Egypt while showcasing the key factors that contributed to its past glory and ongoing challenges.
