00:00Before the pyramids rose, the desert was not so silent.
00:03Each year, the Nile spilled its life across the valley,
00:07black soil, rich and wet, feeding a world built on water.
00:11The pharaohs called it the gift of the gods.
00:14For three thousand years, that rhythm of flood and harvest made Egypt eternal.
00:19But one year, the river did not rise.
00:21The soil turned to dust.
00:23The sky burned white.
00:25Without the flood, the kingdom began to starve.
00:27And when the land broke, so did the divine order of kings.
00:32This is the story of when the river failed,
00:34of droughts that shattered empires,
00:36and how the changing climate once unmade the world's first great civilization.
