2000 years ago, Ptolemy hypothesized the presence of inaccessible mountains in central Africa where the Nile was presumably born. He called them "the mountains of the moon". For centuries explorers have been searching for them, overcoming untold difficulties, but mountains and stone walls are often the easiest to climb and sand deserts are the easiest to cross. Much more difficult is to deal with the vertigo and the desolation of our soul.
"Continue what you started and maybe you'll get to the top, or at least you'll get to the top of a point that you will only understand will not be the top"

Seneca
"Something is hidden. Go find him.
Go and look behind the mountains. "

Rudyard Kipling
Along the Nile, source of life, the path is marked, you just have to go, oxides and lands to immerse yourself in this wonderful journey to find or regain life.

2000 anni fa Tolomeo ipotizzò la presenza di montagne inaccessibili al centro Africa dove presumibilmente nasceva il Nilo. Le chiamò "le montagne della luna". Per secoli gli esploratori le hanno cercate superando difficoltà indicibili, ma le montagne e le pareti di pietra sono spesso le più facili da salire ed i deserti di sabbia sono i più facili da attraversare. Molto più difficile è confrontarsi con le vertigini e la desolazione della nostra anima.
“Continua ciò che hai cominciato e forse arriverai alla cima, o almeno arriverai in alto ad un punto che tu solo comprenderai non essere la cima”.

Seneca
“Qualcosa è nascosto. Vai a cercarlo.
Vai e guarda dietro i monti.”

Rudyard Kipling
Lungo il Nilo, fonte di vita, il percorso è segnato, bisogna solo andare, ossidi e terre per immergersi in questo meraviglioso viaggio per trovare o ritrovare la vita

That's a fantastic piece, you did a wonderful work to illustrate the ground the water,its dusty and bare. The bluish color of the water gives hope to the environment and explain more about the sky above. The swamp and moss around the water are some basic features of typical environment like that you illustrated. I'll like to see more of your good works.

very interesting comment ty!

The Old Sacred Nile River

Looks amazing maestro @armandosodano

The colour of the water looks like from Paradise

Regards and thanks for sharing another genius artwork of your maestro

This is so beautiful! I especially love the reflections you created in the water. And I loved the script you added at the beginning of your post; it really set the stage for the depth of your painting!

That is very realistic quote

"Continue what you started and maybe you'll get to the top, or at least you'll get to the top of a point that you will only understand will not be the top"

and the detail in your painting is just amazing

@armandosodano Amazing article Man.. Thanks for Sharing..
