Nile meant Africa, but Africa meant Egypt. Therefore, Nile=Africa=Egypt=World, all the same.
West Nile, West Egyptian virus. Do the origins of RNA viruses date all the way back to ancient Egypt?

Would you like another fun fact?
In the Indo-Aryan languages, "Nile" actually means "blue" and the River Nile is/was called such, because it is blue.
Of course I learned that due to the story of Lord Shiva being called "Nilokanth" which means "blue-throated" and also after the various species of blue lotuses which grow IN the Nile River...but that is a story for another day.
