CAIRO — An ancient pharaonic granite slab from the time of the ancient Egyptian King Djoser, which was discovered years ago, has recently resurfaced amid the crisis over the Ethiopian dam on the Nile River, raising the fears of Egyptians over a stone-carved inscription about the drying up of the Nile River.
The stone tells the story of a drought that occurred during King Djoser’s era that lasted for seven years, during which the Nile ceased flooding during its usual season.
