The Nile and Egypt
2
Lake Victoria is the world’s second largest freshwater
lake. (Only Lake Superior in North America is larger.) It receives its water mostly
from precipitation and from thousand of small streams.

Three countries border Lake Victoria--Uganda, Tanzania, and
Kenya.

The Nile River is the longest river in the world. It flows for 4,145
miles northward from Lake Victoria at the equator and
empties into the Mediterranean through the Nile Delta in Egypt.

Baby Moses was in a little boat floating in the marshes
of the Nile.

The Bible also tells us that the children of Israel “built for Pharaoh treasure cities,
Pithom and Raamses” (Exodus 1:11)
These two cities were in the northeastern part of the Nile
delta.

Most likely Hatshepsut, a daughter of Thutmose I, was the foster mother of
Moses.

When Moses returned to Egypt, most likely the
pharaoh was Amenhotep II, son of Thutmose III.

Amenhotep II was raised in Memphis in the north, rather than in Thebes, the traditional capital.
Memphis had been the capital of Egypt for many dynasties.

Amenhotep II was not a very nice person.
36
During a battle, he single-handedly killed seven rebel princes at Kadesh and ordered their bodies to be hung upside down on the prow of his ship. When he reached his capital city of Thebes, all but one of them were mounted on the city walls. The
seventh was sent to the rebellious territory of Nubia and hung on the
city wall of Napata as an example of the consequence of rising against
him.
37
His last campaign proceeded north to the Sea of Galilee. His list of
plunder mentions 101,128 slaves, which is believed to be an
exaggeration; however, this campaign was followed by peace.
The kings of Babylon, of the Hittites, and of the Mitanni made peace with
Amenhotep II and paid tribute to him.
38
Now Amenhotep II could concentrate on expanding and decorating existing temples, on building new temples, as well as on building shrines, columns in
courtyards, and steles throughout his kingdom.
And he used slave labor to do it.
