The Nile of Egypt - The source of the Nile of Egypt is a massive mountain to the south of the equator, called Mount Jabr al-Qamar. And many rivers come out of the moon and into the first climate, the rivers come together and become like a lake. But he should not be called Batihah, its diameter is about forty miles. Then a large river comes out of the bottom flowing to the north, and that is the Nile of Egypt.
