Talk:Nile Level Texts

Untitled
I want only remember to the author that a very high flood of the Nile has happened in the 6th year of the reign of king Taharqa. It was recorded on a stele found in Coptos. This exceptional event was interpreted as a benefit granted to the king by his father the god Amon. However it was higher than that of the 3rd year of the reign of Osorkon "not any dam could resist to his power..." (see Legrain) You can read the text of this stele in the following article : V. Vikentiev - La haute crue du Nil et l'averse de l'an 6 du roi Taharqa. Recueil de Travaux, 4e fascicule, 1930, pp. 1-59. There was also such a great flood in the 29th year of the reign of king Amasis. 213.103.235.93 (talk) 19:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
