The scientists agree that there is no river on earth longer then the Nile, it stretches for one month through the lands of Islam, two months through Nuba, and four months through abandoned deserts at the end it takes its origin in the mountains of Djabal al Qamar on the other side of the equator.

There is no river in this world that flows from south to north except it, and it is not a river that flows into the Sea of Rum and China other than Nile Egypt. There is no river in this world that increases and extends in the most heat of the world, when the rivers and eyes of the world decrease other than the Nile of Egypt, and the more the heat increases, the stronger its increase, and there is no river in this world that increases in order other than the Nile of Egypt.
