Overview

Excerpt from Palaeolithic Vessels of Egypt, or the Earliest Handiwork of Man There may, too, have been abnormal cloudbursts in Upper Egypt, which have washed the, rough edges of the Desert Plateaux into the tributary wadies - valley-shaped declivities in the fractured limestone formation on either side of the Nile 1 - where drift implements are often found. But it must always be remembered that since its general upheaval and the modification of climate during the pleistocene period the country has not undergone any appreciably violent geological revolution, at all events during its occupation by man, a condition of affairs practically unparalleled elsewhere. This alone is sufficient to account for the abundance of undisturbed palaeolithic remains on the surface itself. It is perhaps too soon to dogmatize as to the probability of these theories. But, pending the final decision, any new facts bearing on the question that come to light are of no little interest and may perhaps do something to influence the ultimate verdict.
