[edit] English?

The Spanish speaking contributor makes a couple of very valid points, especially the arguement about the Sphinx possibly being far older than formerly believed. But most kids reading an English language Wikibook no hablan Espanol....

It would be useful to transfer some of that spanish language text to the Spanish Wikijunior, although the Ancient Civilizations Wikijunior book has not been started there. Translating this text (even through Babelfish) would be useful for this article at the moment. --Rob Horning 17:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question

"The abundant water of the Nile River allowed vegetables to be grown almost all year round except summer." Is this correct? If so, we should elaborate. Kfasimpaur (talk) 22:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
