摘要

For the first time, a palaeoparasitological study was performed on 12 mummies from a Christian cemetery excavated in El-Deir. Oasis of Kharga, Egypt. The analysis revealed the presence of a tapeworm, probably Taenia sp., in a single individual. The presence of just the presumed taeniid egg is surprising and raises the question of the relationship between residents of Egyptian oases and those residing in the Nile Valley. The result suggests information on the health status of the ancient oasis population and re-enforces a hypothesis regarding possible social stratification or the inhabitants. The work must be continued if we are to acquire additional knowledge dealing with life in ancient Egyptian Oases.

The pregnant mummy from Warsaw reassessed: NOT pregnant. Radiological case study, literature review of ancient feti in Egypt and the pitfalls of archaeological and non-archaeological methods in mummy studies

Kamila Braulinska, Lukasz Kownacki, Dorota Ignatowicz-Wozniakowska, Maria Kurpik

Summary: The study on the first pregnant ancient Egyptian mummy has been controversial, with doubts raised about the conclusions made by the researchers without adequate radiological expertise. The paper highlights the pitfalls in mummy studies and explores the potential of using Mixed Reality (XR) technology to interpret computed tomography (CT) results. By reassessing the same radiological data and applying more advanced software and XR technology, the paper challenges the initial fetal interpretation and suggests a more probable identification. It also discusses the dangers of misuse of current mummy research protocols and proposes methodological improvements for cases involving suspected fetal presence.

Evaluation of Desertification Severity in El-Farafra Oasis, Western Desert of Egypt: Application of Modified MEDALUS Approach Using Wind Erosion Index and Factor Analysis

Mohamed E. Fadl, Ahmed S. Abuzaid, Mohamed A. E. AbdelRahman, Asim Biswas

Summary: Desertification poses a serious threat to human survival and ecosystems. A study in Egypt developed a GIS-based model to map desertification severity using the Index of Land Susceptibility to Wind Erosion (ILSWE), Modified Mediterranean Desertification and Land Use (MEDALUS) method, and factor analysis (FA). The model successfully identified high-critical and medium-critical areas within the ElFarafra Oasis and outperformed the original MEDALUS method. It is suggested that this model can be utilized for monitoring vulnerable zones and as a starting point for sustainable agricultural development in inland oases.

Bioerosion traces on the Campanian turtle remains: New data from the lagoonal deposits of the Quseir Formation, Kharga Oasis, Egypt

Magdy El Hedeny, Sara Mohesn, Abdel-Aziz Tantawy, Ahmed El-Sabbagh, Mohamed Abdelgawad, Gebely Abu El-Kheir

Summary: This study explores a concentration of turtle skeletal remains in a lagoon setting in the upper part of the Campanian Quseir Formation in Kharga Oasis, Egypt. The turtle remains are mainly found in three successive horizons, with the third horizon exhibiting better preservation. The turtle bones display significant bioerosion signatures caused by various organisms such as ticks, beetles, worms, fishes/crocodile, and gastropods. These findings expand the stratigraphic and geographic distribution of the trace fossil assemblage and suggest the adaptability of the producers to different paleoenvironmental conditions.

STRATIGRAPHIC AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES ON THE LOWER EOCENE SUCCESSION AT EL-GUSS ABU SAID PLATEAU, FARAFRA OASIS, WESTERN DESERT, EGYPT

Abeer Shreif, Nageh A. Obaidalla, Safia Al Menoufy

Summary: The Lower Eocene Succession at El-Guss Abu Said Plateau was examined to determine the paleoenvironments and nature of deposition based upon benthic foraminiferal biofacies. The lithostratigraphy reveals a sequence consisting of the Esna Formation, the Nusf Formation, and the Farafra Formation. The benthic foraminiferal biofacies and lithology suggest a progressive shoaling process likely associated with tectonic uplift during the early Eocene.
