The flooding of the Nile () has been an important natural cycle in Egypt since ancient times. It is celebrated by Egyptians as an annual holiday for two weeks starting August 15, known as Wafaa El-Nil. It is also celebrated in the Coptic Church by ceremonially throwing a martyr's relic into the river, hence the name, Esba` al-shahīd ('The Martyr's Finger'). Ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile flooded every year because of Isis's tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris.

The flooding cycle

The Egyptian year was divided into the three seasons of Akhet (Inundation), Peret (Growth), and Shemu (Harvest). Akhet covered the Egyptian flood cycle. This cycle was so consistent that the Egyptians timed its onset using the heliacal rising of Sirius, the key event used to set their calendar.

The first indications of the rise of the river may be seen at the first of the cataracts of the Nile (at Aswan) as early as the beginning of June, and a steady increase goes on until the middle of July, when the increase of water becomes very great.

period of about three weeks, sometimes a little less. In October it rises again, and reaches its highest level. From this period it begins to subside, and though it rises yet once more and reaches occasionally its former highest point, it sinks steadily until the month of June when it is again at its lowest level. Flooding reached Aswan about a week earlier than Cairo, and Luxor 5 – 6 days earlier than Cairo. Typical heights of flood were 45 feet (13.7 metres) at Aswan, 38 feet (11.6 metres) at Luxor (and Thebes) and 25 feet (7.6 metres) at Cairo. (This gives the picture before the construction of the lower and high Aswan dams.)

Importance for Egypt

If it were not for the Nile River, Egyptian civilization could not have developed, as it is the only significant source of water in this desert region. Its other importance was the fact that it was their gateway to the unknown world. The Nile flows from south to north, to its delta on the Mediterranean Sea. It would flood each year, bringing in silt-laden waters; when the waters receded the silt would stay behind, fertilizing the land for growing crops. If a flood was too large it would wash over mud dykes protecting a village. A small flood or no flood at all would mean famine. A flood must be of just the right intensity for a good season.

The ancient Egyptians did not realize that the flood in fact appeared due to rains on the mountains to the south, and it was seen as the annual coming of the god. The rains would swell the different tributaries and other rivers that joined to become the Nile River.

End of the flooding

In 1970, with the completion of the High Dam at Aswan, the annual flooding cycle in Egypt came to an end. Today, farmers must use fertilizers to keep their land productive, as the deposits of silt no longer occur each year. Flooding still occurs above the dam in modern-day Sudan.

A long time ago, Neil Gaiman pointed out something that made me realize why there are certain quest stories that I don’t care for. He was referring to an old essay by Nick Lowe regarding plot coupons. I hadn’t heard the term before, but both Neil’s post and the essay were very enlightening.

Here’s Neil’s post: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2002/10/several-people-asking-what-i-meant-by.asp

Nick Lowe’s article is here:

http://news.ansible.co.uk/plotdev.html

If you don’t want to read all that, the idea is that plot coupons are items that the hero has to obtain on his/her/its way to completing the quest.

What I’ve found is that plot coupon stories tend to be action-oriented. The hero runs runs runs, grabs item, runs to next one, and so on until the culmination of the quest. Either one item leads to the next one or all of them need to be obtained to reveal something–mega coupon time! The problem for me is that with all this running around there often is little character development. I like character-driven stories so this is why these stories often don’t work for me.

This is a huge lead in to this point: I was disappointed when I watched the recent “Sucker Punch” trailer. It still looks like an awesome visual fest, but the trailer reveals that the core story revolves around plot coupons. Sigh.

I think one of the reasons why I enjoy the first Matrix movie so much is that it doesn’t use plot coupons. Anderson evolves into Neo through his choices. Unfortunately, the sequels don’t work for many reasons, including the use of plot coupons.

The first “Sucker Punch” trailer reminded me a lot of “The Matrix” so I was hoping that the story would be good. But the plot coupons make me sad. I’m not saying these kinds of stories are bad, there are plenty of good ones, but more often than not they are a sign that the focus isn’t on what makes a good story for me: characters.

Anyway, that’s my rant for the week.

We’ll return you to your regularly scheduled commenting.

I’ve always liked the Plot Coupons concept, as a positive and a negative for beginning writers.

Although it should probably be updated to “Plot Rollback”, for the future generations who will have no idea what a coupon is.

The wife and I just finished watching the Bruce Willis flick, “Surrogates”.

I think this one might be palooza worthy some day. Definitely a well executed and thought provoking film.

We watched Repo Men a few months ago. While it explores some of the same issues, it did not execute nearly as well as this did.

I quite enjoyed Surrogates when I saw it at the flicks, one of BW’s better films. I haven’t read the graphic novel it’s based on though.

I suspect Essbee is talking about the BBC series, if so, the psycho bitch villainess was so over the top that it put me off the series.

Lo: Honestly I haven’t listened to it. I really liked “Brave New World” when it came out and I enjoyed but didn’t love “Dances with Death.” And then got really bored with their new stuff. In my opinion, the two solo albums that Bruce Dickinson did “Accident of Birth” and “The Chemical Wedding” tower over everything that Maiden has done since “Powerslave.” Which is a shame, since Maiden sounded great live a couple of years ago.

I havnet seen Dollhouse so I cant comment. But I will say I think Im the only dork that doesnt want to suck the cock of Whedon. I find him extremely underwhelming, like most of his endeavors. He struck gold with Firefly and I enjoyed Dr. Horrible. Everything else Ive not cared for in the least.

Kidding, Lo, but I am what you might call a Buffy fanatic, down to one of my tattoos. I also love Angel and Dr. Horrible and am passionate about Firefly and Serenity. Dollhouse was definitely his weakest attempt (I have Season 1 on DVD if you wanna borrow it).

I think Whedon is sharp but think that lots of other people, specifically Jane Espenson and Tim Minear, are responsible for lots of the things I love about his great shows. Whedon for all of his brilliance falls pretty short on transgressing gender/racial/sexual orientation stereotypes, and does a lot of resting on laurels and geek fu, I think.

That being said, Joss is Boss, and I would throw my panties at him if I saw him.

But as an aside, Whedon is a human being and capable of failure. There are a lot of directors I admire, but I can’t think of a single one that didn’t stumble somewhere along their career, except for maybe Kubrick. And he made up for that by being a collosal douche a lot of time. LOL

Well I agree, Rhett. I’m not saying he stumbled along the way. I think he’s over-hyped to begin with. But thats just me and my tastes and me not enjoying most of his work. Which, granted, isnt a whole lot of work to start with.

I almost abandon Dollhouse after the first 2 episodes. I will have to say it finished very VERY strong.

I found that the majority of the bloggers dislike of Dollhouse, seemed to stem from her dislike of guys.

“But the fact is that 1) The Madam isn’t actually in charge. She answers to a guy (snip) 2) Alpha, who plays around with folks and also wipes folks, is a guy 3) And Topher, of course, (snip) 4) Echo’s protector/body guard is a guy 5) the “good guy” trying to save Echo from all these bad people is, of course, a guy. ”

Not liking things because of the gender involved would seem to cut down on your entertainment choices in a big way.

I am a little surprised though … since all the baddies are GUYS, that would seem to give support to her hate of them and therefore you’d think she’d actually LIKE Dollhouse.

As for Whedon – He is BIG in the Sci-Fi/geek circles because he makes films/video aimed at that audience. If you think he is over-hyped just step out of the circle and you’ll find the rest of Hollywood asking “Who”?

It is also my understanding that what seems to be “resting on his laurels” is actually “He hasn’t done much lately because he can’t get mainstream Hollywood to fund/produce his projects because they don’t fit the formula and don’t play for the Twilight masses and … Who did you say you are again? Whedon???.”

I know him for three things. That makes him a pretty small fish in the Entertainment world’s ocean.

I purchased something on Monday that may or may not suck. I picked up the latest box set edition of Gamma World. Looks kind of like a mash up of the older version with Killer Bunnies. One point that kind of miffs me, no gaming dice. You would think that for $40 they would include a set. Not a big deal as I have plenty of dice, but a starter set should include everything one would need to play a game. I don’t know when I’ll find time to play it though. 🙁

Reply OK so..

Yeah… I have bizarre work hours..

And then when I’m finally home and quiet – I have other stuff I’m doing away from the computer.

I’m not being quiet because I’m playing WoW (if anyone thinks that!)

Today I went to my daughter’s school for a Thanksgiving feast day and right now I’m leaving to pick her up and take both kids to the doctor. Fletcher for his 5-year annual and Sarah because she’s had some tummy aches lately and I wanna make sure it’s nothing big.

Then we’ll probably do family dinner and tomorrow.. .I’m going to try to make Whoopie pies!

I just haven’t been near the computer… I’m not caught up… I have no idea what’s going on — but I will get there again soon!

LostRaplph: I was on a brewery tour back when they were small. It was great. I’ve wanted to see the upgrades for quite some time, so I’m looking forward to watching that video tour.

I like many of their beers, but there are a few that I don’t like. Unfiltered Wheat is one of my standard session beers.

confession – I think I like “Silversun Pickups”

‘nother confession – I listen to Alt Nation on XM radio and about ever 3rd band I hear I think “Oh, that must be Silversun Pickups.”

I guess if the Alt bands are all going to sound alike, it’s fortunate for me that I like the sound.

There was a letter in the latest New Scientist, where the writer claimed his wife had no internal monologue when she reads. That is she absorbs the information content a paragraph contains but does not have a inner voice reading the words back to her.

I have the inner monologue as I read, what about you?

I have recorded a micro-story and would like to put some music in the background. My search for “podsafe” music is leading me to places that want me to pay for their site or have a crappy selection. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m looking to support a suspenseful mood in a futuristic world.
