Excerpt: ...Philce must be seen, and if seen it will also be felt. To descend the river on them is the way to see the two rows of pillars of the great temple to most advantage. Mr. Smith and myself rode on donkeys to Assouan, our baggage following on camels; and Messrs. Lynch and Mill descended the river to see the " cataracts of the Nile," which are well known now to be no cataracts at any season, and into which, when the river is low, children descend for the amusement of travellers, with perfect impunity. I, who had looked down upon the boiling flood of Niagara, had no desire to see the rapids of the Nile. 52 A PIOUS MUSSULMAN. On arriving at Assouan, we found the governor keeping the fast of Rhamazan in as quiet and innocent a manner as possible, by sleeping as many hours of the sunlight as he possibly could. We produced the Governor of Berber's letter of introduction; but the porter, even armed with that, did not dare to break in upon the slumbers of His Excellency; so we sauntered about the bazaar till the arrival of our friends, when we returned en masse, to storm the porter, and, if necessary, carry the governor by a coup ale main. The former yielded at discretion; the latter as discreetly as possible, but apologized for the absence of the coffee and pipes, as no pious Mussulman could look upon them with safety to his soul, in Rhamazan--at least before sunset. We might lodge at his house; but the hint bore, that, for piety's sake, we must board ourselves; whereat we were somewhat grieved: but finding nothing more was to be obtained from this over-righteous governor, we made our bow to him, and while our never-failing stew was preparing, we sallied forth to the little island of Elephantina, opposite Assouan, to see some...

Download or read book The Red Sea from Byzantium to the Caliphate written by Timothy Power and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the historic process traditionally referred to as the fall of Rome and rise of Islam from the perspective of the Red Sea, a strategic waterway linking the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean and a distinct region incorporating Africa with Arabia. The transition from Byzantium to the Caliphate is contextualized in the contestation of regional hegemony between Aksumite Ethiopia, Sasanian Iran, and the Islamic Hijaz. The economic stimulus associated with Arab colonization is then considered, including the foundation of ports and roads linking new metropolises and facilitating commercial expansion, particularly gold mining and the slave trade. Finally, the economic inheritance of the Fatimids and the formation of the commercial networks glimpsed in the Cairo Geniza is contextualized in the diffusion of the Abbasid 'bourgeois revolution' and resumption of the 'India trade' under the Tulunids and Ziyadids. Tim Power's careful analysis reveals the complex cultural and economic factors that provided a fertile ground for the origins of the Islamic civilization to take root in the Red Sea region, offering a new perspective on a vital period of history.
