Awake Goy I disagree with the Great Explorer John Hanning Speke…My claim is that Lake Victoria is NOT the source of the Nile. I will “Graphically” show you the source. “Speke undertook a third expedition, without Burton, aimed at proving his claim that Lake Victoria was the source of the Nile.
Accompanied by 176 men, Speke set out from Zanzibar in September 1860. On July 28, 1862 he reached the point at which the Nile issues from Lake Victoria, which he named Ripon Falls. Speke returned to England via Cairo, and in December 1863 published Journal of the Discovery of the Source of the Nile.
What Led to the Discovery of the Source of the Nile, published the following year, was intended in part to bolster Speke’s importance as an explorer and his claims to have found the source of the Nile, which were disputed by many, including Burton, with whom Speke had had a bitter falling out.”
Google Earth works much better.
