00:00The Nile's ancient secret, feast of loyalty. Imagine an ancient festival, one that shaped a
00:06civilization for thousands of years. The feast of the Nile's loyalty. Picture this, a magnificent
00:12temple ship sailing the Nile, on board. Sacred symbols of the throne's angels, and a beautiful
00:19Isis statue, carved from alabaster or red granite. Behind them, boats of senior statesmen,
00:25all heading towards the sacred waters near Phalae. What happened next? Amidst prayers and hymns,
00:32Isis was released into the arms of Osiris, the Nile itself. Why? Legend says the annual flood
00:38wasn't just water. It was Isis's overflowing tares, mourning her beloved Osiris. This incredible
00:44ritual reveals a deep truth. The statue was the revered bride of the Nile, symbolizing the goddess's
00:51eternal bond, with the river not a human girl. As some have claimed.
