"The first European to actually navigate the Blue Nile from Lake Tana to the Nile Delta was James Bruce, a Scottish explorer, who undertook the journey in the 1770s. Even then, it took almost another 360 years before the gorge of the Nile was completely mapped."
By my reckoning, this means that the gorge will be mapped by 2130. Don't know how to edit as I'm new to Wikipedia.

There is a merge proposal at the top of this article, to merge with Abay River. This seems logical to me. Merge the material from Abay into this article, then make Abay a redirect to this article. If there is no objection, I will do this in the near future. Unschool ( talk) 01:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
"transliterated: ʿAbbay but pronounced Abbai" It might be just me, but I'd pronounce both exactly the same (making this somewhat useless). Can someone set up the IPA for this? (I would, but I'm not sure how to pronounce it.) PseudoAgrippa ( talk) 01:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
"This photo showed a bridge broken during World War II, with 10 men on either side of the broken span pulling each other across the dangerous gap by rope. This historic bridge was built by Emperor Fasilides of Ethiopia in approximately 1660 with Roman bridge technology brought to Ethiopia by Portuguese soldiers during the battle with the Muslim invaders in 1507" -- There are several errors in this statement.
So many mistakes, so little time to do the research to properly correct them! -- llywrch ( talk) 21:45, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
@ Civil Engineer 3:In the article Ak Deniz (Mediterranean Sea) of the turkish wikipedia, I have found white=west and blue=east, that fits the name of the two Nile arms. I am unable to check the value of this statement, so I pass it to the last who modified the article. NOTE: I am italian and when I noted this in a talk page of the italian wiki, a greek-named user has deleted the suggestion. 151.29.59.56 ( talk) 07:32, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
Why is it called the Blue Nile ? Please would someone knowledgeable add the is information. Darkman101 ( talk) 22:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
