Bos primigenius on the Late-Glacial Nile
The problem of the origins of pastoralism in Egypt has not a general solution yet. The issue of domesticated sheep and goats is apparently solved: in the absence of wild ancestors in Africa, they were brought to Egypt from Southwest Asia in the late 7th – early 6th millennium BC. Cattle in this respect remains a subject of keen discussion. It is argued to have originated from the wild aurochs Bos primigenius that lived in Northern Africa back in …
From the Delta to The Delta
The Gezira at the confluence of the White and Blue Nile in Sudan today accounts for more than a third of the country’s gross national product thanks to the creation here, on the base of the Sennar storage reservoir, of an extensive network of irrigation channels watering an area of about a million hectares. The Gezira irrigation system is located over dried riverbeds of the early and middle Holocene, which built the inner delta of the Blue Nile w…
Ancient Egypt, Climate and the Nile
The First Intermediate Period in ancient Egypt (22nd–21st centuries B.C.) is characterized by tomb “autobiographies” reporting on low Niles, famine and food donations from high officials and wealthy persons to the poor population after the collapse of the centralized monarchy. Egyptologists have expressed doubts that these sources reflect the real environmental and socio-political situation in Egypt at that date. In the 1970s B. Bell put forward …
From the Delta to the Delta
Neolithic in the Nile Valley in the 5th millennium BC was spread from the Sudanese Gezira to Central Egypt in the form of year-round settlements and seasonal camps of hunter-gatherers mastering the cattle breeding. Some researchers argued that it was a kind of cultural community, but this rather contradicts the known archaeological facts, which also do not confirm the theory of mass migration of the Neolithic tribes of the Sahara to the Nile in t…
From the delta to the Delta
The primordial neolithization on the banks of the Nile River is associated with the archaeological culture of the Early Khartoum, or Khartoum Mesolithic. The bulk of its monuments date back to the 7th–6th millennia BC and is located on a long stretch of the river valley from the Gezira at the confluence of the White and Blue Nile to the 2nd cataract of the Main Nile at the current border of Sudan and Egypt. Khartoum Mesolithic shows a tendency of…
From the Delta to the Delta
The 5th millennium BC is marked by the transition to agriculture in the Egyptian Nile valley, rather late for the Fertile Crescent. This was preceded by the Quaternary epic of discovery of the Nile banks by hominids, from the Olduvian Pithecanthropus of the lower Palaeolithic to the Neolithic settlers of the Predynastic period, who laid the socio-economic foundation of the Pharaonic civilization. In the Pleistocene geological epoch, the Main Nile…
On a "dead end" in the Egyptian predynastic studies, and on a possible direction of the way out
Studies of the Predynastic Egypt, devoid of reliance on written sources, may enter into a dead end; to overcome it, methods and data of natural sciences are called including the reconstruction of changeable natural conditions of the emergence of ancient Egyptian state. These include: aridization of the North Africa climate in the 4th millennium BC, which favoured the transformation of the Sahara into a desert and the migration of part of its popu…
