iON | Mississippi & Nile Rivers

Transcribed by Bert.

[30 January 2016 Part 2]

(22:20 mark)
Alissa: I would like to talk about the connections that I am sensing the Mississippi River has to the Nile. I noticed the Cairo and Memphis, Tennessee, are similar to those cities in Egypt.

iON: They’re copies of relegations, yes!

Alissa: Can you explain and develop a bit of why that is?

iON: Well, it’s an example of the two most major rivers in the world. Well, the one down in South Africa is pretty cool.

Alissa: Yeah.

iON: And it’s pretty fun because here you go! We can do this! Let’s try this! The source of the Mississippi River is Lake Ithaca - some call it “Itasca", but it’s Ithaca - but it dumps into the Gulf of Mexico, and it’s 2,320 miles long. Now, unlike the Nile, which it comes from the White Nile to the Blue Nile and it dumps into the Mediterranean Sea. It’s 4,258 miles.

Alissa: Does the White Nile and the Blue Nile refer to the Lotus Flowers.

iON: Yes, perfectly! Here’s the funny thing: the Nile is twice as much river, right?

Alissa: Right, yep!

iON: OK, but the discharge of the Mississippi River is 593,000 cubic feet per second. It’s how much it dumps out. The Nile is only 99,940 cubic feet per second. It’s 1/6th of it, and yet it’s twice as long.

Alissa: I’m going to digest that. I appreciate that information.

iON: At the basin area, it is 1.151 million square miles, and the Nile is 1.313 million square miles. It’s pretty interesting!

Alissa: At the basin - meaning the Mississippi basin?

iON: Yes, and then the basin of the Nile.
