As the ground bakes and the Nile dwindles, the Egyptians pray for the return of the flood. An entire civilisation holds its breath. The pharaoh's position is now precarious. He must prove he can influence the gods. His people demand that he delivers the flood. They know the Nile has risen before to replenish their world, and they yearn for its arrival again. But has the pharaoh been able to appease the gods this year? All along the valley, people are looking to nature for signs of hope. Then, at last, one appears. Flocks of sacred ibis arrive from the south. Egyptians have learned that the flood will surely follow.
