Make Egypt great again... much love from Turkiye.

I'm Egyptian and live and work in the gulf I've been visiting 🇪🇬 egypt twice a year for the last 20 years lately I can see large green patches from the airplane ✈️ window... due to the agricultural efforts the government spares on reclaiming the desert 🏜 And new cities looks nicely designed 👌 unlike the old concrete random scattered building.. ..... Egypt is changing ....

Honestly Egypt needs to get their act together, theyre sitting in a pretty spot in the Mediterranean, huge oil resources, amazing trade potential. They have ancient history, tourist attractions, etc..yea they have a bad situation with an increasing desert and population but that’s where they need a culture change, get smarter, and create more.

A few of you may have noticed this video has a lot of parts similar to another video I posted a little over a year ago. That video had some issues I could no longer overlook so I decided to take it offline and make some major changes and additions. This is that video. Next up is a couple videos on Lewis & Clark’s maps. I’ve been working on these for what feels like forever. They may be a little niche but they are some of my favorite videos I’ve worked on so I hope ya’ll will watch them!

multiple factories are emptying their waste into the Nile...how tragically poetic...

Egypt has so many interesting mega projects ongoing.

Egypt big country and i love Egypt so much ❤

Egypt has such a beautiful and bloody history.

I think that Egypt has a lot of potential especially considering that there is another European rush for Africa and African economies are markets waiting to explode.

تصحيحاً وإضافة لمعلوماتك فإن العائق الذي منع مصر في إستغلال مفيض توشكى هو وجود عائق طبيعي ( جبل ) يمنع من مرور المياه مما أضطرت معه الدولة لإزالته عن طريق استخدام كمية تقدر بـ 3 مليون من المتفجرات

To correct and add to your information, the obstacle that prevented Egypt from exploiting the Toshka overflow is the presence of a natural obstacle (mountain) that prevents the passage of water, which the state had to remove by using an estimated quantity of 3 million explosives. Finally, greetings to you and your respected channel

I once read that a major reason why many countries particularly Egypt stop growing their food is because of economics. So basically Egypt produces and export various fruits instead of planting their staple food like wheat for self sufficiency. They rather import their staple food, and then sell their fruits for more money on the international market. While Countries like USA, France India, Nigeria produces their crops not mainly for export but for self sufficiency.

I have always thought a megaproject to bring water through a tunnel from the Mediterranean to the Qattara depression in NW Egypt might be a game changer. The addition of a large body of water there might make the surrounding climate better, and a power plant at the exit of the tunnel could produce electricity, perhaps enough to desalinate some of the water going by.

🇬🇷♥️🇪🇬

I think Egypt, with the Sphinx, Pyramids, and so many other ancient mega projects should understand the best that mega projects don’t deal with long term problems. Adaptability and foresight are the tried and true methods. Good times can’t last forever.

WE are not really at risk of starvation! the war just made things more expensive for us here in Egypt, yet we had no lack of any supplies at markets.

Egypt is also building new cities away from the Nile. I have high hopes for Egypt for the future.

I didnt want the video to end, great effort

I love Egyptian History!

Actually Egyptian army is ranked the 9th, Egyptian culture and arts, as well as accent are dominant in Middle east.

you may have to double check on the info that Egypt's Nile acted as a natural corridor as its water is turbulent in its currents and is not always best for commercially viable long distant routes-not that navigation friendly

What a great video unbiased and to the point!

Overpopulation and water shortages will cause huge problems soon.

For those that are not in the know 4100 km equates to 2547.622 miles That’s really impressive that’s even further, from where I work at in Johannesburg Michigan to Bakersfield California I am, over the road truck 🚛driver and that is some seriously impressive miles, to make a freshwater canal that long that you can see from space 🪐🛰and literally overlaps multiple states across this country is something truthfully monumental.

Sea levels aren't rising, but Egypt's delta is sinking due to the pumping of well water, just like in New Orleans.

Here’s a challenge. Do a video about Jamaica’s history and what’s happening.

Does egypt have any resources outside of the nile river? It's gonna be difficult. Water is essential to a civilization

The _"New Valley Project Toska Lakes"_ (in Egypt) could do with a railway to maintain it and for various other usages. Dropping the surface temperature of the nearby hot sands helps and a good way to do that is via trees grown but that takes water. However, transpiration helps temperatures dropping, so the key is to make massive amounts of humic material to bury into soils and sands _(even larger than the lakes potentially),_ partly like hugelkultur wood-beds _(but not buried wood where termites cause issues)._ Then trees can grow. Reflective solar power that heats a molten salt central tall unit also drops temperature and instead of the other "photovoltaic" panels, they are basically mirrors. The lower the surface temperature, the better. There is also the increased _(but rare in that part of Egypt)_ probability of rain hitting the ground instead of evaporating from the surface temperature being quite as high. A dual gauge _(3Metre and European gauge or British gauge, as long as it has a 3Metre gauge)_ railway would do the above and have health and computing business use cases aboard the 'train' since it _(and carriages and cargo containers)_ would be so wide. The railway _(potentially running from diesel pyrolysis fuel or maybe electricity, such that a data and power connection can run along it to help infrastructure)_ can also take vast water containers far beyond the lakes into even deeper dry desert, sometimes uphill. Getting a railway working _(for which the sands, stabilised with vegetation, get sprayed by the water 'train' via cannon and deposits of water in water towers from the railway-tankers)_ would make it easier to move vehicles around and would increase the choice of vehicles because some could fit on a 3Metre flatbed towed behind the railway's carriages and water-tankers. It is also an excuse to build basements and those are lower in temperature. Date palm fronds make excellent high temperature vermicomposting like India do _(digging a hole in the ground about the size of a car, althoough some might be lined with concrete or some other material because specific worms are in it and they go for the palm vegetation)._ It would end up with massive amounts of humic material almost never ending but eventually it would become partly self-sustaining. Growing coconut that far inland would be pretty cool but would need feasibility studies and testing. It is high in protein and lipids. It also has some antibacterial properties. However, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, and anything stuck on the Red Sea _(which includes Saudi Arabia, or any of the countries near it coastally)_ can potentially grow coconut too _(as long as humic material was sufficient)._ A robot _(with all necessary food-processing tools attached)_ handing out cocunuts to passing hungry people in the desert pretty much solves every short term nutrition need they have _(or close to that goal)._ It has liquid, fats, protien, nutrients, fibre, and you can even etch a Q-R code advert on the side of it, and later a unique code for the person. Then when they can't eat anymore more you offer them a _"waffer thin mint"._ The lakes could have solar desalination at some points because there is so much light and heat. It's be kind of a cool though experiment to turn the whole patch green between those lakes and the Nile to the East, so the green area is as big and green as the Nile delta up North by the Med Sea. That genuinely might cause it to rain a bit because a rainforest might spring up. It would probably require massive amounts of explosives and bulldozers and eurotunnel style boring machines to make a canyon-sized water canal from the West most Lake to the East, Al Ambarkab. Somebody might object however if some rock there is found to have prehistoric relevance (and beauty) or a dinosaur were found and an expert wants to measure its toe or flipper or what have you. Or maybe an insect lives there and is almost about to become listed as protected. Pretty cool RTS level though, as a big X shaped canal would then go across its new aforementioned green area to make the area wet. My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

I was hoping for any mention of a Qattara Depression canal project, but I guess not.

Egypt is the heart and mind and spirit of the Arab world!

From a national security perspective the middle east & Egypt is food/water. It's smart to build as many desalination plants as possible and terraform unused land into usable land. They are making a lot of good moves I am surprised you didn't make mention of their capital moving to New Cairo.

A bit late but great video!

Do video about red sea rivers from red sea mountains that was even before nile river exist from about 35 million years ago

Egypt in coming back right now and the new republic of Egypt is going and nothing will stop it

I don't need the round trip of egypt when I AM IN EGYPT

personally i think egyptian already one of the most influential countries in the world but is never covered by its determination, it’s history, culture, cairo, other cities, tourism & i think it may dominate the worlds economy at some point with China India & USA

Egypte is making great modernisation progress!

They should use more tower farming

Egypts Problem is the same as almost any country. Private sector are the most evil people in the world. What I mean is the richest people are nothing but a bunch of Mafia bosses that are holding this country back. This country has loads and loads of money but sadly its only in a very small group of Business owners.

Correction: Achaemenid Persians put an end to Egypts dynasties, not Alexander of Macedon!

الحمد لله❤🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

A little correction the Aswan High dam barely gives Egypt 10% of its electrical needs. The biggest worry of Ethiopia's Dam is that its not really build correctly and if it breaks it will drown all of Sudan. Egypt could take the dam down they have the military and firepower its just they dont want to use that solution.

Need to build a desalinization plant. One day the Nile is going to dry up. The mountain will shake. Redirect the water flow West across the desert and more to Ethiopia.

Why are the borders to the sea so small in some states like Mississippi, Alabama?

I think Nature will have the last laugh as always

Consequences

actually, we have hit sufficiency in many crops in 2022. more than 2 Million Feddan are planned for Land Restoration by 2030 the project is called New Delta. so far about half a Million Feddans have been successfully restored. the project relays heavily on desalination plants we already have 82 working plants with a yield of almost 1 Million Cubic meters per day and 14 new plants are planned to be completed also before 2030. the project uses state-of-the-art technology and irrigation systems combined with investment in improving and increasing the yield of the delta and the Nile valley we should practically hit sufficiency in basic all crops and reach 65% to 70% sufficiency in wheat production. we are basically burning Billions of Dollars every year with one goal in mind reaching food security by 2030. then Russia, The USA, and China decides to burn each other because of course they did and deliberately delay the entire world's schedule.

Potatoes plants tolerate salty water very well

I think they will work together with saudi on the new NEOM City to make that entire area of the world a international trade hub.

Slowly and sustainably reducing their population according to their environment's carrying capacity would make more sense than terraforming a land that doesn't have enough water to begin with, with better living conditions even if Egypt's population is halved it would still be a power player in the Arab world especially with the eventual weakening of the energy producing gulf states as supply and demand for fossil fuels decrease especially with climate change. Being too ambitous is a very high risk thing especially in a changing world due to politics and climate change.

what Egypt lacks most is a decent and educated leadership

for the first point they made a new project to filter out sewage water so farmers can use it instead of nile's water the new toshka project is taking care of the wheat imports issue but ye population increase is shitty nothing from ethiopia affected nile yet despite them claiming things but if something happens the government made it seem like there will be conflict since diplomacy didnt work with ethiopia they left us on read

“In the USA we spend 6% of our income on food.” Maybe in some houses but I pay way higher than that and am closer to the 40% the Egyptians pay.

They should invest in sending egipticians abroad... like cuba does with its doctors and north corea with is force labors. Saudi Arabia already have the demand... just some "shady contracts" could solve population and food at the same time

Born and raised in Egypt here. All of Egyptians' suffering and woos can be summarized in one word: "Military rule". Period.

11:45 AQUIFIERS? or aquifers?

modern egypt doesn't have cultural influence ! literally most of media in the arab world come from egypt and the most understood arabic dialect is the egyptian although it is not very similar to the standard arabic

Egypt was the bread basket in antiquety

egypt spread free preservative

Van a secar el Nilo y solo quedarán las pirámides...

egypt t trying to solve these old choises in the previous era .. and doing its best for infra-structure .

You missed the demise of ancient Egypt by at least 4 centuries! In 727BC Nubian King Piye invaded and set up the twenty-fifth dynasty. The Assyrians then overthrew the Nubians and set up the twenty-sixth dynasty ( 655-525BC). The Persians then overthrew the Assyrians in 525BC and ruled into the time of Alexander the Great ( 332BC ).

Imagine the ancient kingdoms if they could see the Nile now 😅

Africa needs one, or two, high mountain ranges, that will collect annual snowfall and provide a more reliable water source. All they have to do is move an unprecedented amount of rock and soil to build a couple mountain ranges that are 5,000 meters high. The material could come from the steep edges that surround almost all of the continent. Easy peasy.

If Egypt switched from cotton to wheat they would be fine

It will be very interesting to see what Egypt does when Ethiopia constructs that dam.

I've visited Egypt 6 times in total, and I've travelled across the country twice. Yes, there are some really interesting historical sites, the Sphinx is a sight to behold, and broadly its a reasonably friendly country. On a 1-1 basis, the people are actually very welcoming to foreigners, especially outside of the bigger cities. I have to admit, though, Cairo, the Nile river, and the surrounding areas, are total dumps. The Nile river flowing through the city is absolutely filthy, comparable to other rubbish filled rivers in parts of India. It actually stinks of raw sewage. Literal streams of rubbish flowing into it, all piled up on the banks too. The footage in this video is not an exaggeration. Its worse than this. Places like Sharm el Sheikh are great for a family holiday, only because they are basically "walled" or "restricted" tourist only towns, which don't really give an accurate representation of the whole country. Locals aren't allowed access unless they work there.

Ok, scrape the salt out of the dry lake beds and refill, problem solved

It is a shame to be importing wheat in the first place. How much foreign reserves are going into wheat imports. If they don't get their act together to grow enough bread, they are in shit. How did a nation that once fed the Roman empire descend into an importer.

The problem with Egypt is it's always up and coming. Just because it came doesn't mean it be coming back.

Its the elephant of africa and will in the end beat south africa in technology

6%? More like 10 maybe even 15% bro

It's called politicians

Is Egypt going to have a revolution and famine soon?

Let's settle this low and wide delta and build a massive civilisation of 100k people in a space too little, completely dependent on a river that can be blocked by 3 countries. Incredible plan...

Native Egyptian culture is pretty cool and unique. Too bad they insist on larping as Arabs. 😒

Egypt can be powerful but never like before. Egypt was African in it's hey day. Man power, water, unlimited gold, fragrance and spices and precious stones all flowed from Africa's interior to Egypt often as tribute ( free ). This will NEVER happen again. As a present day Arab country it can be powerful amongst Arab's and it has tourism of course and a good location for this and that. But as far as being a global leader and worthy of the name Egypt or kmet, that ship has sailed and it ain't coming back.

Garbage trucks? Recycling?

Ayo American providing aid for contraceptive while domestically trying to take those same rights away is WILD!😪

Egypt needs a new pyramid, made from modern materials, and they need to see what's in the hole they found deep under the sphinx. Problems solved.

Not the big picture.

They kept stopping its canal projects - there are huge sections of the nile that meander and almost create islands and the smallest distances were the river is closes should have canals built on them and then there are half a dozen other canal projects that go far into the desert they should have build long ago!! The United States should have helped build these canals since they knew there was going to be a population explosion!!! There are a number of dry river beds that go deep into the Sahara they have no plans in filling with water but once the canals are built and they are filled along with the lakes these river beds will be easy to fill. What they need to do is build 1,000s of indoor farms that grow underwater plants to plant in the canals and the lakes that will maintain water levels and allow the water to remain fresh water and all the destillination plants should be connected to one pipe line witch goes all the way down south so if the water is low huge amounts of fresh water can be pumped into the canals so the water stays fresh. Once the ecosystem stabalized (planting vegitation in canals and lakes are vital to this) it will be very stable!!

no military strength? lol ok

Will men ever cure their addiction to oil

Geography won’t do it as long as the arabs continue fighting each other over various beliefs.

Ethiopia, control your destiny.

As an Egyptian I have to admit the start of this video isn't true at all. We are one of the top wheat exporters in the world. Starvation doesn't have to do anything with Ukraine. But nice video still

From breadbasket of the Roman Empire to being on the brink of starvation. Fortune is fickle.

i just woke up because i barfed in my sleep into my nose and it burns and i hate it and i saw this video when i turned youtube on

Reducing the fertility rate is a bad move. It should be used as a last resort, if used at all. Because there is no coming back from it. It's far better to invest in food production, especially improving water efficiency. That way Egypt can reduce its dependence on foreign imports and potentially even become a food exporter further down the line.

1:05 - Actually ancient Egypt was finished since the Persian conquest in 525 BCE (and then again in 343 after a short independent period). By the time the Macedonians conquered it (to the Persians and pretending to be "liberators"), Egypt had already been a foreign dependency for very very long (even before the Persians, it was a vassal of the Assyrians).

"Arab spring "? You mean "Cia spring"

Population control is a really dangerous game. Countries need to have more youths than elderly or there won't be enough people to sustain the elderly when the youths grow up. Even though China ended the one child policy, the effects of it will still cause problems when the current working chinese get too old.

Egypt is in the Middle East???

Egypt is suffering from refugees around 10% of the Egyptian population are actually refugees so the EU should either invest heavily in Egypt or pay the receipt of the refugee staying in Egypt or welcome the mass immigrations

but the climate of Egypt is becoming increasingly less ideal for human development

I stand with ethopia on the dam issue, you can build dams but not others ? is that even logical egypt ? if one cannot build then no one can build not even at the end of the stream. this is the same case with the river between china & india where india is being bitchy about china building dams yet they themself already build a few couple ... same cases with many rivers around the world. Not even with an MOU.

no PC game is better than Empire Earth. This game is very similar to it.
