hi Ralph:

i have another question that i would like to know.

Answer
Hi Ronchel,

The answer simply is yes.  The Nile is still a major water way, the farming is still done in much  the same way it has been for thousands of years.  The Egyptians are very proud of their culture and even today follow many of the life ways of there ancestors.  The religion is different but there are some who still follow the old gods.
