4 Preface This book gives the geological history of the river Nile since it started to excavate its course in the Egyptian plateaus in late Miocene time in response to the lowering sea level of the desiccating Mediterranean. It formed a canyon longer, deeper, and just as awe inspiring as the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The canyon was transgressed by the advancing Mediterranean as it started filling during the early Pliocene, and since then by a number of rivers which ebbed and flowed as they succeeded one another. The modern Nile is a recent and humble successor to mighty rivers which once occupied the Nile Valley. Dallas, Texas August 1981 Rushdi Said

5 Acknowledgments This book is based on field work carried out in Egypt during the seasons while the author was a member of the Combined Prehistoric Expedition sponsored by Southern Methodist University, the Polish Academy of Science, and the Geological Survey of Egypt. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Professor Fred Wendorf, leader of the Expedition, and to several members for their fruitful discussions. Notable among these arepr. Claude Albritton, Southern Methodist University, and Dr. J. De Heinzelin, University of Ghent, Belgium. The field work was aided by geologists M. S. Abdel Ghany and A. Zaghloul of the Geological Survey of Egypt. The drafting was by Reed Ellis and Hoda S. Armanious. I am also grateful to Dr. M. K. Ayouti, the General Manager of the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, for his help in providing data and samples of the deep boreholes of the delta and for his encouragement to bring this manuscript to publication. Dr. Fouad Y. Michael, Atlantic Richfield Oil Co., Dallas, Texas, drew my attention to many papers that were of pertinence to this work. Dr. Felix P. Bentz and Judson B. Hughes, Santa Fe Minerals Inc., Dallas, Texas, graciously accepted to write Appendix C of this book which gives support, by the use of seismic data, to the theory here advanced on the origin of the valley of the Nile. Due acknowledgment is made to Santa Fe Minerals Inc. and its partners Bow Valley Exploration Ltd., Central Energy Development Co.. and Citco International Petroleum Co. for permission to publish many of the seismic sections across the Nile in the area they held for oil exploration work in Egypt. The preparation of this work for publication was made while the author occupied the position of senior research scientist, Institute of Earth and Man, Southern Methodist University. I am deeply indebted to Professor James E. Brooks, Provost of the University, for his continued help and encouragement. lowe a special word of thanks to Mr. Coy H. Squyres, President, Conoco Oil Co., Egypt, for his continued interest and support; not only was he generous with his time in countless discussion sessions, but also with the facilities of Conoco which greatly helped in the preparation of this book. Due acknowledgment is given to the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Roland Press, Academic Press, University of Chicago Press and Southern Methodist University Press for permission to publish some figures.
