I am now reading this old book.  James Bruce's Travels In Abyssinia    1768-1773





   







                        



My old copy is 140 years old and is crumbling.  The red cover is separate from the rest of the book.  I have to be careful turning pages.  It even has pristine maps folded up inside. 







This book is so old, that in the preface, the editor remarks that Dr David Livingstone's latest, current exploration will further prove or disprove the connection of Lake Tanganyika to the Nile.

I'll have to find one of these.  I have an identical 8 1/2 X 11 copy of THE WHITE NILE.

" I guess God knew what he was doing when he put Lake Victoria up there.  And he didn't put any Nile Perch in that lake, either....stupid people did that later, and now the Nile Perch has destroyed the fishery. "

I've been watching the excellent 1971 BBC mini-series THE SEARCH FOR THE NILE on Youtube.   I haven't seen it in 45 years!  It's terrific.  That series turned me into a Nile fanatic years ago....I was already an African fanatic....

Lake Victoria is the size of Wales.   Second only to Lake Superior as the largest fresh water lake on earth.

Eduardo, Baikal is the largest freshwater fish lake by volume, that probably places Victoria third.
When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Baikal is largest BY VOLUME, not by surface area.       


.....but, a pretty good point from your little pointed head.... Bucky
