The Suez Canal was (and is) one of the great engineering projects of the modern era. But did you know that during the Roman Empire (of which Egypt was a province of, at the time), this Civilization had also constructed a canal in the proximate location of the Suez Canal, thus linking the River Nile and Red Sea for maritime traffic?
Perhaps your thirtieth (or so) great grandfather worked on that ancient project?
Please note: The ancient canals (there were earlier ones as well) were typically routed from the River Nile to the Red Sea near Suez, not from the present-day location of Port Said on the Mediterranean coast.
IIN to wonder about who you would've been if you hadn't been you?
