Passage 1
At some 2300 miles in length, the Mississippi is the longest river in the United
States. At some 1000 miles, the Mackenzie is the longest river in Canada. But these
waterways seem minute in comparison to the world ’s 2 lengthiest rivers: the Nile
and the Amazon.
The Nile which begins in central Africa and flows over 4100 miles north into the
Mediterranean hosted one of the world ’s great ancient civilizations along its
shores. Calm and peaceful for most of the year, the Nile used to flood annually,
thereby creating, irrigating and carrying new topsoil to the nearby farmland on which
ancient Egypt depended for livelihood. As a means of transportation, the river
carried various vessels up and down its length.
A journey through the unobstructed part of this waterway today would pass by
the splendid valley of the Kings, where the tombs of many of these ancient monarchs
have stood for over 3000 years. Great civilizations and intensive settlement are
hardly associated with the Amazon, yet this 4000 mile-long south American river
carries about 20% of the world ’s fresh water more than the Mississippi, Nile and
Yangtze combined. Other statistics are equally astonishing. The Amazon is so wide
at some points that from its center neither shore can be seen. Each second, the Amazon
pours some 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic. There, at its mouth
stands one island larger than Switzerland. Most important of all, the Amazon
irrigates the largest tropical rain forest on earth.
