The Western Desert of Egypt’s Wadi Al-Hitan, or Whale Valley, is home to priceless fossil remnants of the earliest and currently extinct suborder of whales, the Archaeoceti.
The evolution of the whale from a land-based animal to an ocean-going mammal is one of the primary storylines represented by these fossils. The world’s most significant location for the display of this stage of evolution is here.
The shape and way of life of these whales throughout their metamorphosis are eloquently portrayed.
Such fossils are uncommon in this location due to their abundance, quality, concentration, and accessibility as well as their position in a picturesque and protected landscape.
The earliest archetypes can be seen in the last stages of losing their hind limbs in the fossils from Al-Hitan. It is feasible to reconstruct the local ecological and environmental circumstances of the time thanks to additional fossil material found at the site.
Interestingly, despite El Fayoum’s surface elevation is 118 feet below sea level, the peak offers several enjoyable scrambles, each of which provides a stunning view of the surrounding landscape.
A temple dedicated to the cobra-goddess Renenutet was built at Medinet Madi, a location in southwest Egypt’s Fayoum region with ruins of a Greco-Roman town, during the reigns of Amenemhat III and Amenemhat IV. It was later enlarged and renovated during the Greco-Roman era.
