North Africa and the Nile Valley (Egypt) ... which is attracted by the animal from North Africa Committee, which was the prey, after becoming a desert and dried on the impact of poor rains, and so in the middle Paleolithic .. but the hunters who came in their impact would not have to look: like these developing natural wealth, which is renewed year after year the annual flooding of the Nile River ... they have not known of Agriculture yet ...it has come for the meat .. which was also

provided them with the Nile River in the form of his fish.

Since Neolithic ... When the ancient Egyptians settled near the Nile water was giving them a lot of them, especially the time and contributed to flooding .. those water resources in the relatively stability and the creation of civilization yet that knew how to exploit it ... and then staged a way that caught.

It has been found in excavations of the ancient era of prehistoric hunting tools and images to use in fishing nets Egypt.

Since the earliest historical times and found many big fish that was food for

different layers of the people, and a great nutritional importance in the eyes of those who matter directories.

For the fish had to be done by hunting. The ancient several ways to do this was to follow.

Fish collected from the beaches go after the flood, which would come with numerous kinds of him.

Baskets: The one where the fishermen download basket tight orifice swollen middle (pierced in several places most likely) to a certain distance into the water from a boat goes in the water ... and if the passage above the swarm of fish passing

Cart Situated between the squadron to detain him inside .. then submitted to the boat to unload and re-downloaded ... and so.

Nets hands: those nets a two long pieces of wood on both sides of the net fisherman holding in his hand one of the two pieces of wood and push it under water after down in ... and waiting for the moment when a lot of fish pass in.

It is worth mentioning that this type of nets was used in only a few water.

Large nets with large holes: This type of fishing was allowed only to catch big fish and leave the area for the growth of small fish and reproduction ... In this in order to preserve the fisheries ... which is placed between the two boats, and while passing holding fish over this net ‌ and when filled with fish pulls the net, including the fish by two rope lengthy.

There was also Aides escorts for fishermen to transport fish caught to the boat facilities .. sometimes to put the fish in it once caught, and to sort the fish following the completion of fishing ... where are putting a small fish in baskets while

pinning large species on a piece of wood or a stick carried by two men on both their shoulders.

The eye-catching clothes fishermen here we see that it be simpler and images was found that show them represent them naked or dressed in short or not they only covered waist apron.

These anglers there was no significant difference between them and the villagers in general has been living in huts woven in villages and cities on the banks of the Nile in ancient times ... especially in the Delta, the most important fishing areas in ancient Egypt ... and more views of the Nile Valley in fish harvest and in the regularity of fishing craft. And where large groups specializing in ancient times, as it is happening now in Lake Manzala and

Burollus lake where almost the entire population dependent for their livelihoods on fisheries directly or indirectly.

They were returning the lowest layer of the society also said "Herodat" ... and they were also engaged in hunting profession, because the water that they live close to them - as is the case now - frequented by hundreds of thousands of land and sea birds, and frequently the presence of these birds in the same chapter which are scarce in which fish fishery.

And the boats that were used for hunting in ancient Egypt ... most of them were made from papyrus stalks tethered ropes ... and annexed it to some in the form of packages

linking in several places, so take the form of a huge cigar and then bent Parties edged crescent-shaped. In addition to the main beams Throwaway side of papyrus stalks packets, until the end of the boat to the form that appears in the ancient paintings.

Since the dawn of history, the ancient Egyptians used those boats. Despite the large number of proven, including the use of wood panels in the construction of ships since the dawn of history ... but also that many of the fishermen have been using boats .. papyrus was common in Lower Egypt in particular.

And cause "Plutarch" frequent use of papyrus boats in preference to wooden

boats to "Isis," which has the effect of killing "Osiris" searched for by a ship made of papyrus. Since that time, it was believed that those who use such boats do not attack them for fear of alligators from the gods or respected them, but the fishermen, in fact, preferred papyrus boats for several reasons ...

The building wooden boat harder .. The wooden boat less validity of navigation in shallow water and curves densely plants from a boat papyrus, which he can angler can carry and beyond its barriers easily ... relative calm while walking is required for fishing to not disturb the fish, unlike

wooden boats and Speaking of sensation as it unfolds.

The papyrus boats rely on the buoyancy of the legs and containing air property ... so they float even though the water permeates every papyrus stalks ... and naturally they will not sink if there any holes in them, unlike the wooden boats that sink any reason (though not must be left in the water for a long period because the legs saturated with water that flooded, and as soon as the leg to the point of complete saturation with water they lose buoyancy property and thus sink in water).

Most of these small-sized boats were not nine more than two people. And some

flour made was one of them can carry a bull ... and even some of those boats were used to transport cattle.

These boats were going rowing and was suitable for water used was aimed only hunters fish and birds in the marshes of the Nile water was often very fast power ... So the papyrus boats were not used rarely.

He said, "Herodotus" that the Egyptians are sending fish caught after a small market, which was frequented by the villagers since ancient times to buy and sell their belongings. Photographs and drawings representing these markets have found and what is happening in which bargains for sale and purchase and so on.

But they retain some favorite types have to eat them fresh.

In some cases, they are making the fish knife lengthwise rip from head to tail so that separates the two sides back from

While many convinces taking out the intestines of fish and disarmament peels of it and removed the head and the end of the guilt and salted and left in the sun to dry ... has excelled veterans in keeping fish and dried ... it was the thickness of the dried great importance in supplying the Egyptians and composed than the main food for the poor.

Also "Herodotus" said, salted fish were commonly eaten ... Most people think that he meant (salinity and Alvesik) and who believe that eating it is useful at a particular time of the year ... and the Egyptians still eat now, especially in the Easter holiday.

The Egyptians also extracted the roe of some fish species.

Resellers fish they open the fish to drying in the sun, and were drawn away from the roe which is disseminated decree amid fish in the form of a round cylinder Parties

I had the fish and catch this economic importance of the state ... It is an old source of income for their coffers.

It is the family news eighteen read about taxes was performed by anglers to the state, also finds that the fishermen were attached to the temples in some cases exempt

from

these

taxes

like

belonging to the service of the king.

"Herodotus," also said that the fisheries of Lake Morris (El-Fayoum old) Report of production it was brought to the King and the weight of silver cabinets per day at the end of the flood, and a third of the weight a day in the remaining days of the year [ This means that income royal annually from fisheries Morris was not at least 46,000 Egyptian pounds (and that on the year 1967), and this shows the richness of the fish fisheries on the one hand and the state's interest in its income on the other hand]

And other texts that show a great indication of the economic importance of fisheries in the history of ancient Egypt.

And more than this unfolds that the fishing industry

was

of

great

respect

that

preserved fish were exported from Egypt to Syria.

It also was one of the foods that acted within the appointments of the armies of the "first Siti".

"Herodotus" He also said that the workers had been distributing them the amount of fish weighing 91 grams (Maybe it was for the workers who were doing public works).

It was not the importance of fish caught at this point.

The fishing was one of the most important sports ancient Egyptians out of date. Most of the individual types of fishing such as hunting and troll harpoon was practiced as a sport for all classes Aside from being a means of livelihood for others.

Often images of the great and the nobles and the affluent are engraved on the walls of the tombs they to fish spear in boats made of wood or sticks papyrus ... to fish spear in boats made of wood or sticks papyrus ... usually traveling with them some of their friends or some of their children or their followers to help them

In religious texts predicts that the fish was considered a blessing from God ... and gives the gift of wills, sees God "Ptah," is Ramses II-being, prosperity and says to him (wealth and praise in your destiny because under your feet a lot of fish and birds).

Also took the fish as the monologues and songs between lovers, were received on the tongue Pour out the water and her blouse may I stick her body which tempted her

beloved red a fish adherence to her by the hand and say, 'Oh my God, my brother .. because of nice to go to the lake to wash in front of you, I will make you see My beauty I wore my dress made from beautiful linen royalist when wet ... that I immerse in water and then come back to you a fish has a beautiful red settled between his fingers ... Come and look at. " Some of the texts and remember that the fish was offering sacrifices to the gods ... also considered as a sacred object. And some types occupied a place among the hieroglyphic signs, while some other taken mascots represented, as I miss some of the ancient Egyptian city names of some types

of fish as a city "Atoboles" to derivative of the thickness (Latus), a designation means Greek Fish City Have been found in graves on the small statues of Our Lady of the shape of her head above the fish represents the goddess "panels - erased" Goddess of fish.

Also found small statues of fish made of bronze, some crested the sun disk, as well as the cow horns.

In astronomy, coined by the Egyptians invented it, it symbolizes Pisces (which has been associated with fish in ancient Egypt) Authority community fish in a triangle and a dedicated water mark. It is

the Roman era tombs good ... the second century AD ... shows a domed lids wooden coffins (which is similar to the basement) goddess show "Knott" goddess of the sky surrounded by towers and the universe in animal and human forms and hybrids ... and shows them up between the two fish mouth rope or the like.

And here are the two representatives of the zodiac Pisces - Pisces is known to us now, and the stars of the tower its distinctive shape ... Her mouth is almost straight lines ... each polygon starts from a few small star-shaped Pentathlon, Hexagonal shape (like Diamond) represents a fish head ... apart ... up what looks like a rope between

them, making them the lines opposite triangle Or character (V) in English [appears from this that the tower or a set of stars, which represents nothing to do with a whale .. It just calls] ... a dim to a large degree.

This tower (Pisces - Pisces) his last and number XII between heaven towers, which outlines the annual trip to the sun ...

As for the tower and other important point is subject to the vernal equinox and the astronomical significance here [as this point in belonging to the totals for the autumn has set.. This raises the question of how the vernal equinox occurring in a fall totals?.... And this is what might trigger a kind of disorientation as a result of the relations between the labels and the fact astronomical events ... but we can say that aggregates all the chapters dealing with the emergence of certain groups in the eastern horizon at the beginning of the autumn evenings chapter ..for example .. nothing to do with the date of the vernal equinox point.

Still some modern astronomical books refer to the vernal equinox site for a pregnancy rate, which is located east of the whale groups.]

In the spring Hemisphere North sun change the direction of her career as stepping south of the equator astronomer line from north to go ... that group to start a new annual cycle of the sun.

It is the fish known to the ancients. And appeared fee represented on the walls of many of the tombs of ancient Egypt.

Saqqara is the view of the Old Kingdom A fishing ... it painted some types of fish allowed to know the accuracy of the kinds

Mugli Cephalus What distinguishes the most important body of the rectangle, and the two sides slightly splayed, body and covers a large husks jagged edges somewhat, small mouth and has teeth Bristle.

There is this kind of fish component of organic matter decaying algae and pick them up from the sands of the beach.

It is worth mentioning that the mullet roast was one of the finest foods in ancient Egypt, and still.

Malopterurus Electricus What most distinguishes the average body elongation, almost cylindrical provider, member of circuit extends the length of the body and is made up this member in probably mutated from glands in the skin ... and not arising from muscle cells ... and moving electricity from head to guilt, contrary to what happens in other electric fish. If they touch this kind took trembled feeler.

Endemic in all parts of the Nile.

Food this kind of fish is limited to animals and decaying plants and fish from their

diet when he spoke on the impact of electric shock addressed to them.

Tilapia Niltoica What

Of the most famous fish and settle all parts of the Nile.

Of the characteristics that the custody of the female egg in her mouth until they hatch ... and after a, are fertilized in the water. It also makes her mouth shelter for their young at the start of their lives.

Live in fresh water and brackish and some types of eating grass and some other small fish eat organisms minute And tilapia because of the abundance of good numbers and their meat is the most important food for consumption People .. which was in ancient Egypt.

Tetrodon Fahaka This type of fish alien species ... living in saltwater, rarely found in freshwater.

What most distinguishes the abdomen, is poised to bulge. Body naked or covered with thorns ... moving his front teeth are integrated with each other to form what looks like a beak.

This type is endemic (Tetrodon Fahaka) Nile River ... It is the only.

These fish the ability to bulge swallow large amounts of water or air in a special pocket

the

bottom

stomach

neighbor, and so on other fish can't swallow. He also mentioned that swells as it exits from the water.

This is known anglers in the name of ...

Alvkakh known in Egypt in the name of Fahaka.

Gallarias Anguillaris What most distinguishes the head flounder, and his whiskers and small eyes.

This type endemic Nile and in all its parts.

This type is associated with a private Gods "panels - erased" goddess Mendes which sanctified in the Delta ... and they represent a woman on top of fish.

The ancients believed that the goddess is the first fish that appeared on the face of the earth. Perhaps what was invited to link this kind that the goddess, this member spongiform which features him and helped him to stay out of the water for a long time ... and breathe the air through which the air as is the case in wild animals. And often leaves the water to everybody looking for a diet of organic material aided in his

wandering solid bone with a fork to pectoral fin.

Anguilla Vulgaris What distinguishes...serpentine rectangular body shape is covered with small scales atrophic integrated into the skin does not easily see... and pointy snout or broad. The most important thing is characterized also not to eat a small species of our race ... and that instinct with the rest of the fish species.

This feeds on invertebrates and insects, frogs and is fond of dead and decaying material for his food, it serves as a sweeper.

This type is known in Egypt on behalf of the thickness of a snake or live or live sea.

And so many of the fish species ...

Wilkinson has said that he found many kinds of dried fish and stuffed it was not easy to identify types.

These fish were mummify and kept in cemeteries with other types of food.

It is worth mentioning giving an overview or

an

idea

about

how

to

fish

mummification in ancient Egypt ... has chemical analysis has shown that it soaked period of time in a solution of salt water, and then surrounded by a layer of salt laden mud materials, topped with coils

court skillfully ... and because of drought air and protect dry sand could save these mummies thousands of years that some degree still contains animal materials.

However, there were a few of the fish have a special sanctity in ancient Egypt ... and focus of this special sanctification of three types are:  Lepidotus … barbus bynni  Phagrus … Hydrocyon Forskalü  Oxyrhynchus soles

Fish Bronze: the first of the kind labeled structures and other kind of labeled Alqnom One of the tombs of Thebes – the new kingdom

The Egyptians were keen to refrain from it .. and forbidden them.

And there is a reason ... the myth ... This sanctification is that these fish gutted the only part of the parts, "Osiris," which did not find him goddess "Isis" (unless a recall) was collected by members of her husband's sporadic .. That's because it

threw him in the river where these fish ate it.

"Lillian" was recorded habits Inspired fishermen from the same beliefs ... a scan after dragging their nets from the water to make sure they are free of these fish ... and a preference for pulling an empty box on the greatest caught by trolling for fear of being hook them grazed one of these fish in the water.

It also made sure not to eat what caught by hook for fear of being hook them scratch one of these fish in the water.

It also found the text shows that he was asked to sign it into this area fishermen

swear by which they were not hunting at all Allibdots fish or Aloxarnques.

Why

these

fish

occupied

that

position?

This is due to being closely linked to the Nile is the source of life of the ancient Egyptians. The missionaries flood.

Mormyrus Kannume The

most

important

thing

...

is

characterized by long-fin soft, long a prominent snout of the mouth, chin somewhat puffy. He said, "Herodotus" some of these qualities ... Among the most prominent qualities also his ability to swim

in the reverse direction, (the guilt that goes in the foreground).

Of fish endemic to Neil Egypt ... It is the most common type, especially in the time of the Flood, (like it portends), so his holy people and put him into honor, and denied eat.

Barbus bynni What distinguishes body splayed sides, covered with small, medium or large scales.

This expression has been legendary raises a question ... which is not to swallow this particular particular?

He is also the origin of life.

And naturally that if he met two members to produce them children.

Is that what he meant ancient ... especially that these fish are what they come flooding (they are promising it) ... (maybe) ... The Nile was in need of a male and a female is born ... (believing the ancients).

This underlines the god of the Nile "favor" the god of this watch in the form of a huge body man, blue color, it Visage greatness and riches grows on the head lotus leaf and papyrus and holding his hands by water

Some scholars have interpreted this oddly shaped it as a god, It has qualities of both men and women. Others reasoned that the people wanted to ascribe to him the power of men and women fertile ... qualities consistent with the nature of this great river ... The Nile is mentioned valley that vaccinated ground. The pregnant woman is good evidence, whenever her breasts enlarged rejoiced people better than milk, which suckle from her child.

Some sources have stated that "Isis" after swallowed by the reminder "Osiris" ... and one of the names and the more than two Round Baath life ... became " ABTU " fish water eternal great.

It's worth mentioning that the fish in the folk art at the moment he made as a symbol for multiplication and goodness.

This may be an expression of a way for water ... and who has taken the ancient fish symbol in their astronomy (Pisces) ...this tower, which was immediately followed by the spring ... and when the flood .. as it was also the vernal equinox point, and it was the sun begins a new annual cycle.

With this said, "Herodotus": The fish was considered unclean (and forbidden) in ancient Egypt ...but it is sanctified "Lset" god of evil ... although it is not in the nature of the fish is in favor of these stories ... which raises the question? Replied that

the aversion to fish was the result of foreign occupation.

After the end of the Old Kingdom Libyan tribes invaded some villages in the Delta and occupied some of them ... has been described "Forecasts Nfrrho" the poor situation of the country as a result of these invasions ... he said within the said sabotage the glittering pools with fish and birds.

As reported texts scorned the fish and the fishermen, "the fisherman worse off than leading any other profession."

"Meditation" to name the most detested of fishing, more than the smell of fishermen

It stinky beaches after they finished fishing" According to other texts to make people hate fish: "The bodies were thrown into the river where he feeds them."

After that the Libyan invasions about 1,500 years, the people of the south to open Egypt , led (Bienky) was defiles the fish and eat it is disbelief, and evidenced by the letter of the face of it (that is, to King Bienky): "These kings and princes of the north (the Egyptians) who came to watch the splendor of Your Majesty did not allow them to enter the King House, they are unclean and eat fish, and the King" Nmellot "has allowed him to enter

Because he is clean he didn't eat fish at all."

It is the early Greeks, who visited Egypt, "Herodotus" ... and after three hundred years of open "Bienky" Egypt, one of the first of registered avoid the priests of Egypt fish, he said: "The sacred food cook and attend each of them every day of beef and geese in abundance ... grapes and wine as well, are not allowed to eat the fish."

It is possible that the prohibition of fish particularly among priests - a fad novel due in this day and age to influence "Bienky" who paid conquest, as it is likely that this innovation be added its weight to

the

sediments

Alawzria

faith,

and

crystallized in the prohibition, which scored "Herodotus" .

This was denied eat fish on some days in the calendar year ... in calendar (Sallier) and calendar dynastic said that eating fish was forbidden in some special days of the year ... within the different types of warnings and forbidding what should and what should not be done in different days of the year.

And which do not eat fish and salinization of them in these days (22 Tut - 28 Kiahk – 29 Kiahk - 25 Baramoudah).

He said that in this day infidels they become thicker in the water, and the public

is advised to expel who ate thicker than the temples.

Among the warnings also: - You do not have Picnic in the ship on 19 Amshir, if it is near a river on 24 Amshir lost life .

-

This month, is known for his frequent cyclones ...there is such colloquially said about him (Amshir his many tornadoes takes the appellants in age and fly). (A month Amushir god of wind and storms in ancient Egypt).

And the date of 25 Msarri it said the warning not to eat anything that comes out of the water.

This month, the origin of his name, "Miss Ra", which means son of "Ra" sun god.

The saying goes Commoner (Msarri Place where all ten canal) – (If you missed Msarri not received nor fractions).

Perhaps this shows the status of a case of water in this month.

This is probably explained to some extent the reasons for these warnings ... is it for similar reasons private health or for any other reasons prevent eat fish at this date?.

It is worth mentioning that the prevention of eating fish - depriving people of a Home Food Labels not in general all must followers.

Although this ancient main attention has been focused on the Nile River fish direct him in connection with the ... but they were not unmindful of the Seas also fishes.
