ARE THE RUMORS TRUE? THE NILE WON'T FLOOD?
Nile River
Rumors have been spreading all across Egypt that the Nile will not flood next year! Are these rumors true?
Many Egyptians all around Egypt have been whispering that the Nile will not flood next year! The rumors have now reached the Pharaoh of Egypt and he became very troubled. "Akhenaten has to be doing something that is against Hapi our Nile god, he must be dealt with!" stated a near by farmer.
Locals are planing to over throw Akhenaten and put a new Pharaoh. The farmers who worked in Pharaoh's field stated: "The Nile is the ultimate resource of plantation to the whole of Egypt, if it doesn't flood next year, how is our Pharaoh going to expect us to plant sustainable crops for the whole palace to survive? Currently, all the farmers in Egypt are very stressed out. Even so, not just the farmers are stressed, the whole of Egypt is!" Because the Nile is a major resource, all of Egypt could be doomed to starvation or to limited supplies for the whole of the year.
Currently, Akhenaten is only assuring the country that this definitely won't happen, but do they believe him? "I wonder if Akhenaten is doing anything at all to prevent this from happening." said Akehnaten's wife. " Because I really do not want to be starving next year." This morning, the Pharaoh announced "I am assured, that the Nile shall flood next year. It cannot be possible that I have upset our god Hapi because I have clearly done nothing wrong! The predictions from my priest has to be wrong!" This insulted the priests very much as they have not ever predicted wrong before. "How dare he insult us! We did not predict wrong!" said the head priest. "We were just warning him, and how does he thank us? By insulting us in public!"
Many Egyptians have been plotting to 'get rid' of Akhenaten. "If he won't do something about this, we will!" said angry Egyptians. Already, storehouses have been built to keep all the food that can be kept. Busy men, including some of Pharaoh's servants and priests, are starting to store just in case his word is not true.
Akhenaten has been assigning his soldiers to put papyrus's all over Egypt assuring that the Nile will not flood. But could that cause riot throughout Egypt?

A bit more about the Nile - For those who don't know (You should anyway)
The Nile is a major resource to all of Egypt. Without it, Egyptians, us, would have been extinct! Every year, the Nile flooded bringing fertile soil from the mountains which gave them good crop. Without this flooding, Egypt would not have survived all these years because their soil, is so bad, you couldn't grow any crop from it. This is why the Nile is so important to us.
