Amazing Egypt and life around the river Nile in 1931 in color!

Amazing Egypt and life around the river Nile in 1931 in color!  

The original title of this film is "Father Nile". It shows what life was like in Egypt almost a century ago. The film begins with Felucca sailing boats on the river Nile, followed by caravans of camels and donkeys taking goods to market. 

Next we see men turning a huge wheel to manually turn and open a characteristic bridge with statues of lions at its entrance, followed by huge Felucca boats transporting rocks, then a local gathering of fishermen with a huge moored fleet, a picturesq draw bridge, a very long bridge, rural life among the many palm trees, agricultural activity supervised by an elderly gentleman, an ox and plough, a water wheel turned by an ox, scenes on the banks of the river Nile, a scene with many local people, an endeering scene of a mother and child holding baby goats, a camel and its calf, a group of Egyptian children praying and finally a fisherman casting out his net. 

The original B&W film has been speed-corrected, motion-stabilized, restored, enhanced and colorized by means of state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence video software. Much obliged Rick88888888
