		The Nile in Sudan is distinctive for two reasons: 1) it flows over 6 groups of cataracts, from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka (just north of Khartoum); and 2) it reverses course for much of its course, flowing back to the SW before returning to flow north again to the sea.
		The Nile (iteru in Ancient Egyptian) was the lifeline of the ancient Egyptian civilization, with most of the population and all of the cities of Egypt resting along those parts of the Nile valley lying north of Aswan.
		The Virunga Mountains are a chain of volcanoes in East Africa, along the northern border of Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda.

	UNESCO Courier: A living eternity - ancient Egyptian art - The Transient and the Timeless
		The land of Egypt is, basically, a tabula rasa on which the course of the Nile, from south to north, and that of the sun, from east to west, provide the coordinates of an ideal map, which already existed before it was known to man. Geometry is not the fruit of reasoning alone.
		The mountain is an affirmation of all that the desert is not.
		As it lights up the mountain, the sun gives a shape to the dark polymorphous mass, and this first fashioning is indeed a "birth", a "coming to light" which is akin to the process whereby a notion comes to the mind of an artist.
