Two Egypts in one journey. Foster Barham Zincke travels the Nile in the eighteen seventies and looks hard at both: the temples and tombs of the pharaohs, and the living country under the Khedive, its villages, irrigation, cotton, and debts. You will discover a curious, opinionated Victorian who kept his eyes open on both banks. The oldest civilization on earth, seen through a modern eyeglass. Press play and go up the river.
