  • I am in America. What do you mean by "lips"? No one drinks river water. I don't care what anyone says. I dare you to drink river water for more than a couple desperate moments. However, I will suggests that the rainwater was actually a commodity that was sold and traded like wine.

  • Thanks celtic, I also wish i were on the bbc. Are you in Ireland?

  • Definitely possible but shouldn't we find remnants of the lip at the bottom of the pyramid or the transport duct? Seems odd that they were built solely to collect rainwater since they aren't too far from the Nile river.

  • Very interesting and clever Patrick.Most impressive.If only you were on the BBC.
