being the first pharaoh to have canal linking the Nile with the Red Sea
It has long been the ambition of the Pharaoh to dig a canal linking the Red sea with the Nile. The Canal has actually been built and rebuilt many times. The first to have the idea of connecting the Red and Mediterranean Seas was the Pharaoh Necho in Sixth Century BC. He did not complete it, however during the Persian Invasion of Egypt (also Sixth Century BC), King Darius I ordered the Canal completed. The canal consisted of two parts. One part linked the Red Sea to the Great Bitter Lake, and a second linked the Lake with one of the Nile branches in the Delta. The Canal served as a shortcut between Europe and India until the Ptolemic Era (330-30BC) but then fell to disrepair. The Roman Emperor Trajan set Egypt's slaves to work in re-digging the canal during his reign.
