I guess, when they thought of Egypt being in the "Middle East" they excluded Africa right away. Just a common sense. As for the Nile... you expect too much, my friend.

It is called histeresis or inertia. Logical point of interest already moved from Iraq to Egypt but the visual viewpoint needs more time to move.

Bart: So say in Argentina, and Rand McNally [pointing at Rand McNally logo on globe], all their water goes backwards?
Lisa: Uh-huh. In fact, in Rand McNally, people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people.
Bart: [impressed] Cool!
