Most scientists have considered the Nile to be the longest river on Earth, and some believe a fair statement is that whilst the Nile is the longest in the world, the Amazon is the strongest. The big differences in the recorded length of the Amazon depends on whether or not it is valid to take a course south of the Isla de Marajó at the Amazon's mouth. New evidence, (dated Saturday 16 June 2007) obtained from a high-altitude scientific venture in the Andes, claims that the Amazon is longer than the Nile by 100km, with its longest headwater being the Carhuasanta stream originating in the south of Peru on the Nevado Mismi mountain's northern slopes and flowing into the Río Apurímac, and not from a place in the north of Peru as was thought before: this adds about 284 km = 176 miles to the length of the Amazon

The Nile River is the longest & I would like to add that it is also the most fascinating, with a history unequivacal and uncirpassed in strenghth of character, giving the life giving water to a parched desert. How much more important could the gift of flowing water be?

The longest river is the Nile in Egypt. It runs from southern Africa to Northern Africa and falls in Medetaranian sea.
