Imperial Japan The monarch and head of the Japanese Royal Family is known as the Emperor. According to the Japanese Constitution, he is the representation of the nation's unity and the state, and his position derives from "the will of the people with whom sovereign power resides." The imperial succession is governed by Imperial Household Law. The Japanese Supreme Court has no authority to bring charges against the emperor. He serves as the supreme leader of the Shinto faith [4]. The name Tenn (pronounced [tenno]), which means "Emperor of heaven" or "Heavenly Sovereign," is used to refer to the emperor in Japanese. The Yamato Dynasty, also known as the Imperial House of Japan, has its historical roots in the late Kofun period, which lasted from the third to the sixth centuries AD. It is one of the oldest dynasties in the world. The mythical narratives of the Kojiki and Nihon...
River Nile
A significant river in northeastern Africa that flows north is the Nile.
Into the Mediterranean Sea it empties. The Amazon River, according to some studies, is just a little bit longer than the Nile, which is the largest river in Africa and has historically been regarded as the longest river in the world. According to yearly water flow measured in cubic meters, the Nile is one of the smaller of the world's great rivers. Its drainage basin, which stretches over eleven nations including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Republic of the Sudan, and Egypt, is approximately 6,650 kilometers (4,130 mi) long. The main water source for Egypt, Sudan, and South Sudan is specifically the Nile.
The White Nile and the Blue Nile are the Nile's two main tributaries. The headwaters stream is typically thought to be the White Nile. Nonetheless, the Blue Nile, which contains 80% of the water and silt in the Nile, is the source of the majority of the water flowing downstream. Longer and rising in the Great Lakes region is the White Nile. It starts at Lake Victoria and travels through South Sudan and Uganda. Beginning in Lake Tana in Ethiopia, the Blue Nile flows southeast into Sudan. Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, is where the two rivers converge.
The river's northern part empties into the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria after flowing almost entirely across the Nubian Desert to Cairo and its sizable delta. Since ancient times, the river and its yearly flooding have been essential to Egyptian civilisation and Sudanese kingdoms. Egypt's major cities and population centers are located along the portions of the Nile valley that are to the north of the Aswan Dam. Nearly all of Ancient Egypt's cultural and historical sites were created and may be located near riverbanks. The Nile is one of the three Mediterranean rivers with the highest water output, along with the Rhône and Po.
The standard English titles "White Nile" and "Blue Nile," which were originally solely used to refer to the Sudanese portions of the river that converge at Khartoum, allude to the river's source.
The Nile is referred to as "river" or "'p" (Hapy) in the language of ancient Egypt. The word "the river" (lit. "the river") in Coptic is, pronounced piaro (Sahidic) or phiaro (Bohairic) (h). Iar-o, which derives from the same ancient name, means "the canal-great." Man Daw, which translates to "the vast water" in Nobiin, is the name of the river. [2] The river is known as Kiira or Kiyira in Luganda. It is known as Kihiira in Runyoro. The Nile is referred to as en-Nl in Egyptian Arabic and an-Nl in Standard Arabic.
The Latin name Nilus and the Ancient Greek letter "o" are the sources of the English name Nile as well as the Arabic names en-Nîl and an-Nîl. Yet the etymology is contested beyond that. Homer referred to the river as Aiguptos, but later Greek writers referred to its lower course as Neilos, and this term eventually came to refer to the entire river system.
