As heralds of the flood,
the sacred ibis that now populate the river are held in high esteem.
As they probe for snails
they resemble scribes dipping pens into ink,
so are also credited with the power of knowledge.
But in reality
they are important for a more practical reason.
Evidence from autopsies on mummies has shown
that Egyptians suffered from bilharzia,
a liver parasite carried by water snails.
As the ibis eat the snails
they make pools safe
for the villagers to bathe.
The sacred ibis symbolise the god Thoth,
god of wisdom and master of time.
Before long,
Thoth will play a pivotal role in the pharaoh's destiny.
