During the nineteenth century, geology was perceived by the British Army as a military science, and two geological survey departments outside Great Britain were pioneered by Royal Engineer officers in the rank of captain: J. W. Pringle, J. E. Portlock and Henry James nearly successively in Ireland between 1826 and 1846; H. G. Lyons in …
Egypt's geological history is complex, with multiple phases of basin formation resulting in working petroleum systems from Paleozoic through Pliocene strata. The Gulf of Suez, Western Desert and ...
The geological history of Egypt is a very complex but most fascinating story which starts at least 1000 million years ago in the Pre-Cambrian. In order to give the complete history it would be necessary to discuss both the macrostratigraphical and the micro-paleontological conditions in Egypt. However, in view of the limited time available, I ...
An introductory chapter on history of geological research in Egypt sheds much light on the stages before and after the establishment of Egyptian Geological Survey (the second oldest geological survey worldwide), Hume's book and Said's 1962, 1990 books. The book starts with the Precambrian geology of Egypt, in terms of lithostratigraphy and ...
Georg Schweinfurth (1836-1925) independently explored various parts of Egypt over a period of more than fifty years and made major contributions in geology, paleontology, and archeology. The establishment of the Geological Survey of Egypt by the British in 1896 was a turning point in the history of geology in Egypt.
The Arabian–Nubian Shield envelops the entire regional tectonic history from its formation during the Ediacaran to the Red Sea/Gulf of Suez rifting in the Oligocene–Miocene. The occurrence and extent of the expected successive tectonic events on Sinai basement rocks remain uncertain. Integration of thermochronological techniques with …
Pangea, also spelled Pangaea, in early geologic time, a supercontinent that incorporated almost all the landmasses on Earth. Pangea was surrounded by a global ocean called Panthalassa, and it was fully …
The broad outlines of Cordilleran plate tectonics are now well understood (Dickinson, 2000, 2002, 2004), although disputes continue regarding the impetus for each stage of tectonic evolution, and our mental picture grows progressively dimmer as earlier and earlier geologic time frames are considered.The purpose of this paper is to provide …

Egypt consists of four main geological areas, Nile River valley and its delta, Western Desert, Eastern Desert, and Sinai Peninsula. The Nile Valley broadens gradually toward the north of Egypt and it is bounded by several sedimentary basins and desert sands that have been settled upon fluvial soils. The Nile Valley has three …
World's First Geologic Map Was Far Ahead of Its Time. A map drawn on papyrus more than 3,000 years ago helped spur the search for mineral wealth in modern Egypt. ABU ZAWAL, Egypt If you're ...
An overview is presented to explicitly describe the role of global tectonics in the tectonic and geologic history of Egypt. The major global tectonic events that have directly or indirectly ...
The Geological Survey of Egypt published in 1962 part I (712 pp) of Volume III Geology of Egypt (Fig. 1.2b) with addition of the following phrase—"digest of papers published on Egypt" by the Editor Dr. Galal H. Awad. Volume III deals with the stratigraphical history of Egypt, and part I covers this history from a the close of the ...
The Geologic History World climate zones are a consequence of persistent cyclic currents in the atmosphere of the earth and have persisted throughout at least the later eras of geologic time. Air warmed by the sun rises near the earth's equator to form the equatorial low and is cooled in the upper troposphere, causing its water content to ...
Completed in about 2560 B.C., the Great Pyramid remained the world's tallest human-built structure for more than 4,000 years. Located a few hundred meters to the southwest, the central pyramid was built by Khufu's son Khafre, who ruled from about 2520 to 2494 B.C. The smallest pyramid, which Khufu's grandson Menkaure built, rounds out …

The geological history of Egypt as indicated by it's fauna and flora is displayed in the Museum. There is also the unique collection of the Fayoum vertebrate fossils on display and a large collection of minerals, ores and rocks. In addition, a very valuable collection of meteorites discovered in Egypt and from other places in the world are ...

The Turin Papyrus Map dates back to the reign of Ramses IV (1153–1147 B.C.E., per the Metropolitan Museum of Art) and is the oldest geological map of its kind, as sites like Ancient Origins describe. Its uncanny survival to the present — much like the medical compendium Eber's Papyrus — affords us an invaluable, unique window into the …
