"Hymn to the Nile" (or "Hymn to Hapy") is a tune that was created and sung by the ancient Egyptian peoples about the flooding of the Nile.[1] Herodotus called Egypt the "Gift of the Nile" because ancient Egyptian civilization shaped its culture around and depended on resources from the river.[1][2]
