Event Details : 'The Gift of the Nile' and 'The Hebrews – Small States & Big Ideas' lectures.
Lecture 3 – The Gift of the Nile
As Sumer was the gift of the Tigris and Euphrates, so Egypt—a ribbon of fertile floodplain 750 miles long but not much more than 15 miles wide—has been called "the gift of the Nile." But the differences between Egypt and Mesopotamia tell us as much as the similarities. Quite simply, the first thing you need to know about Egypt: no Nile, no Egypt.
Lecture 4 – The Hebrews – Small States & Big Ideas
Two groups, speaking Semitic languages emerged after the Egyptians. The Phoenicians who created one of the first commercial empires the world had seen, anticipating the Athenians, Venetians and Dutch.
Much of Hebrew history is shrouded in legend. Israel was built by the descendants of Abraham. Moses arose as a leader who forged a people during the Exodus, a long process of departing from Egypt and reentering the “promised land’’. Judaism bequeathed to the West crucial religious ideas.
