For a lot more on nilometers, check this page out. It is also where my avatar image is from.
so when you write a poor post i will take this long awaited opportunity to say that the water has fallen into the “cubits of death” (under 12) :)
Haha. That would be appreciated.
Nice Avatar, Cairene :) The Nilometer is a remarkable structure not only from the architectural point of view but also the historical, social and environmental too.
!
Is there a way I can Email you?

I love your blog :)
A nice blog. I did not see the nilometers when I was in Cairo in 2007.
How is the recovery of the papyrus going? I don’t recall the name of the island.
I hope stability and prosperity arrive soon.
