Trip Overview At Whales Valley in Desert Egypt:
This is a valley At 150 kilometers southwest of Cairo, the valley is situated near the Al-Katrani mountain range, a fully famed and worthy geological site for its rare vertebrate fossils and mega-fossils.
The Valley of Whales, also known as Zeuglodon Valley lies within the frontier of the Wadi El-Rayan Protected Area (WRPA), about eighty kilometers from Fayoum City.
WRPA was created in 1989 and lies in the vicinity of a series of natural hot springs and two lakes created in the 1970s from excess agricultural water channeled from the nearby Lake
Karun (Qarun.)
There is considerable proof that indicates that the tub of Wadi Hitan was submerged in water some 40 to 50 million years ago. At that time, the so-called Tethys Sea reached far south of the existing Mediterranean.
The Tethys Sea is assumed to have retreated north and over the years deposited thick sediments of sandstone and limestone visible in rock formations in Wadi Hitan.
However, the worldwide famed value of the site stems from the abundance and freaked concentration of skeletons, the quality of its fossils, and their natural preserved setting in an attractive and protected landscape.
Geological studies have been tote out in the area since the 1800’s. The first skeletons of Basilosaurus were found around 1830 but were never collected due to the difficult accessibility to the site at that time.
it was thought to be a huge marine reptile and hence was called the Basilosaurus meaning King Lizard. It was only later on that the speciesism was identified as whales which at a certain point in history, moved easily between land and sea.
The whale site and fossils at Wadi Hitan clearly, portray the forms and modes of life during that transitional phase representing one of the major stories of mammal evolution: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. In 1989.
a research team led by D. Gingerich had found that the whales retained useless legs, feet, and toes representing rear legs that were later lost in the evolution cycle. Many of the whale skeletons are in good condition as they have been well preserved in the rock.
The valley has been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2005for it's spellbinding
natural beauty and scientific significance, an important step towards its preservation.
