All over the world great bodies of water have been the cause of the rise of great civilizations, such as the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia, the Nile in Egypt, and the great rivers in China, the Yangtse and the Yellow River. No wonder so many religious rituals center around the life-giving spirit of water.
