In Germany during the 19th century, all princes of the blood had a whipping boy. That is, a boy who was brought up with the young prince and who was spanked every time the prince misbehaved. The Shadoop is a water-raising device operating on the principle of the water sweep. It's been used for irrigation purposes in the Nile Valley for at least 5,000 years. The work of the shaduf has always been and still is accompanied by a song which has never changed in 50 centuries. It's sung by the farmers along the banks of the Nile in Egypt, making the shaduf easily the oldest song known to man. Believe It or Not!
