    These ancient rivers carve out both a spatial and temporal landscape. Spatially, the flow metaphor suggests old, dried-up river beds, gorges and ravines, flood plains, ox-bow lakes, watersheds, and of course, the rivers themselves.

    Ancient texts show that almost from its first recorded appearance in the ancient Near East, money preoccupied estate owners and scribes, water carriers and slaves.
