英语听力：自然百科 圣河之旅 The Nile尼罗河—3

So the here because this is the holy spot on the Nile. This is a site that is sacred to both Muslins and Christians² who believe this is the source of not just the Nile, but one of the rivers of Garden of Eden. Most of the 93 million Ethiopians are christian¹, and pilgrims here have traveled from across the country. This is the source just over here, I think. Look at the structure around it, not for house expecting. Why are you here, why is the souce so holy, why is it considered a such sacred site. In the beginning, God created a river as a heavenly river, not an earthly one. It is a gift from God. Since its creation, it has been a source of holy water and served the first people in the Heaven. It turns out, this is other source, the proper source is a building just over there. Only priests are allowed to go in there. It's a little bit and wellcoming in some ways because of course this isn't the mighty³ river we imagine it to be. This is how it starts. Every river starts with the trickle⁴.
