Guinness World Records, Britannica and the U.S. government agree: The longest river in the world is the mighty Nile — the “father of African rivers,” Britannica says. A new expedition wants to set the record straight.
More recently, Brazilian researchers have argued, the Amazon is more than 1,000 miles longer — and 87 miles longer than the Nile. Or maybe, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, it’s 132 miles shorter“It’s a complicated science, and that has created leeway for people to make bold claims and to assert different points of view,” said Angela Thompsell, a historian at the State University of New York at Brockport who has studied the Nile’s history.
But the controversy quiets as the Nile winds its way north, flowing into Egypt and onward to the Mediterranean Sea.The waters of the Amazon travel thousands of miles before coming toriver and the Atlantic. Most of the Amazon’s water gushes northward, the shortest route to the sea. But some of it tracks south, beginning a long, circuitous path toward the Atlantic.
