The Nilometer - Rhoda Island - History of Egypt - Ancient Egpyt - Egypt Travel The Nilometer in Cairo, Egypt is an ancient instrument that was used to measure the waters of the River Nile so Egyptian farmers would know whether to expect famine or flood. In ancient Egypt, how the Nile would behave could mean life or death when it came to harvest time for farmers and this also led to the Aswan Dam to be constructed. The Nilometer in Rhoda Island is one of three Nilometers that you can still find in Egypt today. Make sure to hit the like button if you enjoyed the video and subscribe for more travel videos.
