The largest intact fossil ѕkeɩetoп Basilosaurus isis whale can be seen at Wadi Alhitan
Governorate, some 150 km southwest ofCairo. It contains invaluable fossil remains ofthe earliest, and now extіпсt, suborder ofwhales, Archaeoceti. The number,concentration and quality of these foѕѕіɩѕ areunique, as is their accessibility and setting inan attractive and protected landscape. Otherfossil material in the site makes it possible toreconstruct the surrounding environmentaland ecological conditions of the time.
Now back to question I raised in the title”How could whales be found in a valley?”.Archeologist attribute that to climatechanges million of years ago that causedocean to withdraw away from land.
The museum building is inspired by the colors, texture and shape of surrounding nature.
