We cannot imagine the existence and continuity of human life in any society and its development without the presence of water. Because the civilizational construction of man and his progress is associated with the availability of water and its investment in the various affairs of life, and water has been mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in a number of verses, including in the Almighty’s saying in His decisive Book: {And We made from water every living thing}.The thesis dealt with four chapters, preceded by an introduction explaining the location of Egypt, the division of the stone ages in it, and the most important ruling dynasties.
