In the Egyptian Book of the Dead, one of the things you had to attest to at death was that you had "never willfully blocked the flow of a river" -- makes sense

In the Egyptian Book of the Dead, one of the things you had to attest to at death was that you had "never willfully blocked the flow of a river" -- makes sense given the prominent importance of the Nile. With respect to your comments, I think that temporary logjams and permanent human dams are not comparable.
