尼罗河自古以来就被认为是世界上最长的河流，其总长超过6800公里，同时也是非洲最长的河流。其位于非洲大陆的东北部，穿过11个国家，并有两条主要支流：白尼罗河起始于乌干达和肯尼亚，以其水域中沉积物的白垩色命名；蓝尼罗河起源于埃塞俄比亚，是河流中大部分的水源。

古埃及人只定居在尼罗河最后的1300公里处，在那里可以进行水中航行。

法老管治下的埃及大多数由农民组成，他们的生活受到洪水的影响。在这里可以种植小麦、大麦和亚麻，还可以通过河流获得鱼和纸莎草，从而为家族人口提供足够的食物。埃及通过亚麻和小麦能够与其他国家保持良好的外交关系，因此，尼罗河对国家的经济和政治稳定作出了巨大贡献。

没有尼罗河就没有古埃及帝国。埃及人深切地意识到这伟大河流的重要性，甚至把它当作他们的生活崇拜。太阳每天晚上都在西方落下，这象征着死亡，并在东方每天早晨升起，这代表着生命和复活。所以城镇一直建在尼罗河东岸，西面则主要建有墓碑和葬礼寺庙。

在古埃及使用的主要建筑材料是土坯，一般用于住宅和大型建筑物，石灰石则用于坟墓和寺庙。我们对埃及建筑的理解主要基于其宗教纪念碑，它们是具有轻微倾斜的墙壁和少量开口的大型建筑物，这种建造手段能够让泥墙更加稳定。

一年一度的尼罗河洪水标志着千年来尼罗河居民的生活节奏，直到1970年阿斯旺大坝的建设，每年的洪水才得以控制。

尼罗河流经阿斯旺之后开始变小，它继续穿过水坝来到卢克索，这里是一个包含大部分文化和历史遗迹的地区，甚至还有埃及最壮观的纪念碑，其中大部分历史遗址已被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产。阿斯旺和卢克索之间的这条河段是大部分旅游集中圣地，游客们主要在游轮上进行观赏，这里还有超过300家水上酒店，数以千计的游客每天都在其海岸上游览不同的纪念碑。


竞赛目的

竞赛面向建筑学生和年轻建筑师开放，古代尼罗河（Moan）埃及博物馆的竞赛目的在于设计一个博物馆，让游客们沉浸在古老的尼罗河文化体验之中，从而增加埃及的旅游者数量。

由于其优越的地理位置，设计的场所将成为参观尼罗河的必经之处，了解该地区的历史、神话和纪念碑文化。这是一个能够传递古老尼罗河对人类历史的重要性的全球旅游圣地。

With more than 6,800 km, the Nile is the longest river in Africa and for centuries it was considered to be the longest in the world. Located in the north-eastern part of the continent, it crosses 11 countries and has two major tributaries: the White Nile, which originates in Uganda and Kenya, named for the chalky colour of the sediment in its waters; and the Blue Nile, which originates in Ethiopia and is the source of most of the water in the river.
The ancient Egyptians only settled on the final 1,300 km of the Nile, where it was possible to navigate the waters.
The majority of society in the Egypt of the pharaohs was made up of peasants who worked the fields and therefore their lives were conditioned by the flood cycles. They were able to cultivate wheat, barley and flax, and also obtain fish and papyrus thanks to the river, thereby obtaining enough food to for the entire population. With flax and wheat, Egypt was able to maintain good diplomatic relations with other countries, and so the river contributed to the economic and political stability of the country.
Without the Nile the ancient Egyptian empire would never have existed. The Egyptians were keenly aware of the great river’s importance, regarding it as the creator of the fertile lands on which they lived and even worshipped a god, named Hapi, who represented the Nile.
Because the sun set every evening in the West, symbolizing death, and was reborn every morning in the East, representing life and resurrection, the cities and towns were always built on the eastern shore of the Nile and the necropolises and funeral temples on the western shore.
The predominant building materials used in ancient Egypt were adobe, used in homes and monumental buildings, and limestone, reserved for tombs and temples. Our understanding of Egyptian architecture is mainly based on its religious monuments, massive structures with slightly sloping walls and few openings, a method of construction used to obtain stability in mud walls.
The annual Nile floods marked the rhythm of life of its inhabitants for millennia, until the construction of the great Aswan dam in 1970 eliminated the annual flood cycle for good.
After passing through Aswan the Nile begins to shrink as it continues its journey through dams toward Luxor, a region that contains the majority of the cultural and historical sites, including the most spectacular monuments in Egypt, many of which have been declared World Heritage sites by UNESCO. The section of the river between Aswan and Luxor is where the majority of tourism is concentrated, mostly on board cruise ships, with more than 300 floating hotels and thousands of tourists disembarking on its shores every day to visit the different monuments.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this competition for architecture students and young architects, Museum of the Ancient Nile (MoAN) Egypt, consists in conceiving of a museum that will submerge visitors in the ancient Nile and become an essential experience for tourists who wish to comprehend how Egyptian civilization proliferated.
Thanks to its privileged location, the proposed space will become an obligatory stop for people visiting the river, as a preamble to the history, mythology and monuments that the region contains. A global focal point for tourism that is capable of transmitting the importance of the ancient Nile for the history of Humanity.
