nilometers (research buildings, research structures, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Built works that measured the water level of the Nile River during the flood season, either by markings on walls of stepped structures, or on vertical columns erected in the river itself or in specially built cisterns. Originated in Ancient Egypt and used until the Aswan dam was built. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Bouwwerk om het waterpeil van de Nijl op te meten tijdens het overstromingsseizoen. Het niveau wordt gemeten door markeringen op de muren of op een zuil die in het water staat. Werd al in het Oude Egypte gebruikt en kwam pas in onbruik toen de Aswan dam gebouwd werd. |
