EGYPT is an independent sovereign state. The British protectorate, declared on 18 Dec., 1914, terminated on 28 Feb., 1922, and the Sultan was proclaimed king on 15 March, 1922. On 26 Ang.,1936, an Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of Alliance was signed in London (ra.tifiqations exchanged on 22 Dec., 1936) to continue for 20 S. H. Steinberg (ed.), The Statesman’s Year-Book © Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 1954 EGYPT 935 years, whereby the military occupation by British forces was terminated, the special British interest in the defence of the Suez Canal zone recognized (the Government of the U.K. were authorized to station 400 pilots with ancillary personnel and 10,000 troops in the Canal zone) and the adminis­ tration of the Sudan remains in accordance with the arrangement resulting from the Condominium Agreements of 1899. In Dec., 1945, Egypt asked for a revision of the 1936 treaty, but the negotiations finally failed owing to Egypt's assertion of the permanent unity of Egypt and the Sudan, the British Government maintaining that the Sudanese should, after they had become self-governing, have the right to choose their future status. The Egyptian Government broke off negotiations in Jan., 1947, and in July appealed to the Security Council to direct the total and imme­ diate evacuation of British troops from Egypt and the Sudan, and the termination of the present administrative regime in the Sudan. The Security Council, however, failed to make any recommendation. On 15 Oct., 1951, the Egyptian Senate and Chamber enacted laws pur­ porting to abrogate the treaty of 1936. On the same day, the Egyptian Government rejected the proposals, submitted on the 13th by Great Britain, the United States, France and Turkey, for the establishment of an Allied Middle East Command in which Egypt was invited to take part on a basis of equality and partnership with the four sponsors and other founder members, namely, Australia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa. In the event of Egypt's acceptance the British Government had expreBSed its willingneBB to agree to the supersession of the 1936 treaty and to with­ draw such British forces as would not be included in the Allied Middle East Command. Negotiations for the revision of the 1936 treaty between the British Government and the new Egyptian Government were re-opened in April, 1953, but no agreement was reached. Subsequent informal discussions were suspended in Dec., 1953. National flag : green, with a white crescent and 3 white stars. Constitution and Government. On 13 June, 1953, General Mohammed Neguib proclaimed Egypt as a republic, with himself as President and Prime Minister. For the coup d'etat of 23 July, 1952, which led to the abdication of King Farouk and the brief reign of his infant son, Ahmed Foiiad II, see THE STATESMEN's YEAR­ BooK, 1953, p. 925 f. A provisional constitution was enacted on 10 Feb., 1953. On 18 April, 1954, the Revolutionary Council forced President Neguib to abandon the offices of Premier and Military Governor and to dismiss the 6 civilian ministers who favoured the resumption of parliamentary government.

Except Alexandria, which has had a municipal council since 1890, the provincial councils were endowed in 1909 with the powers of apply­ ing bye-laws, authorizing public markets, fixing the number and pay of ghafirtJ (village watchmen), and authorizing the creation of ~zbtu (hamlets). They are the local authorities in connexion with elementary vernacular education and trade schools. They consist of 2 elected representativee from each markaz. The Mudtr is the ez officio president of the council. In 1934 a law extended the powers of the provincial councils, in particular with reference to educational, public health and agricultural matters. Elementary education, through all the villages and towns of the provinces. was made a duty exclusively of the councils. By Law No. 145, 1944, local councils were divided into municipal and rural. The number of members varies between 10 and 18 in municipal councils; in rural councils it varies between 6 and 9 according to area and population. Membership is restricted to Egyptians. Part of the members are elected, others are nominated ez officio. There are now 81 municipal councils and 128 rural councils. These local bodies have the right to impose local rates on all residents. The municipalities of Alexandria and, since 1949, Cairo are managed by municipal councils of partly elected and partly nominated members. Area and Population. The total area of Egypt proper, including the Libyan Desert, the region between the Nile and the Red Sea and the Sinai Peninsular is about 386,198 11quare miles, but the cultivated and settled area, that is, the Nile valley, delta and oases, covers only about 13,500 square miles. Canals, roads, date plantations, etc., cover 1,900 square miles; 2,850 square miles are comprised in the surface of the Nile, marshes and lakes. Egypt is divided into two districts-' Wagh-el-Bahri,' or Lower Egypt, and 'El-Said,' or Upper Egypt.

  • A Window Into Paleocene to Early Eocene Depositional History in Egypt Basedoncoccolithstratigraphy
    The Dababiya Core: A window into Paleocene to Early Eocene depositional history in Egypt basedoncoccolithstratigraphy Marie-Pierre Aubry1 and Rehab Salem1,2 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Rutgers University, 610 Taylor Road, NJ 08854-8066, USA email: [email protected] 2Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, 31527, Tanta, Egypt [email protected] ABSTRACT: The composite Paleocene-lower Eocene Dababiya section recovered in the Dababiya Quarry core and accessible in out- crop in the Dababiya Quarry exhibits an unexpected contrast in thickness between the Lower Eocene succession (~Esna Shales) and the Paleocene one (~Dakhla Shales and Tarawan Chalk). We investigate the significance of this contrast by reviewing calcareous nannofossil stratigraphic studies performed on sections throughout Egypt. We show that a regional pattern occurs, and distinguish six areas—Nile Valley, Eastern Desert and western Sinai, Central and eastern Sinai, northern Egypt and Western Desert. Based on patterns related to thicknesses of selected lithobiostratigraphic intervals and distribution of main stratigraphic gaps, we propose that the differences in the stratigraphic architecture between these regions result from differential latest Paleocene and Early Eocene subsidence following intense Middle to Late Paleocene tectonic activity in the Syrian Arc folds as a result of the closure of the Neo-Tethys. INTRODUCTION view of coccolithophore studies in Egypt since their inception During the Late Cretaceous and Early Paleogene Egypt was (1968). Coccolith-bearing sedimentary rocks as old as part of a vast epicontinental shelf at the edge of the southern Cenomanian outcrop in central Sinai (Thamed area; Bauer et al. Tethys (text-fig. 1).

  • En-10 Geochemical Characteristics and Environmental Isotopes Of
    Seventh Conference of Nuclear Sciences & Applications 6-10 February 2000. Cairo, Egypt En-10 Geochemical Characteristics and Environmental Isotopes of Groundwater Resources in some Oases in the Western Desert, Egypt EG0100098 M.S.Hamza, M.A.Awad, S.A.El-Gamal and M.A.Sadek Siting and Environmental Department, National Center for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Control, Atomic Energy Authority, 3 Ahmed El-Zomor St., Nasr City-11762, B.O.BOX 7551, Cairo-Egypt. ABSTRACT A study has been conducted using hydrochemistry and environmental isotopes (deuterium, oxygen-18 & carbon-14) on the Nubian Sandstone aquifer which underlies the Western desert oases. The concerned three oases (El-Farafra, El-Dakhla and El-Kharga) covers an area about 8000 km2 from the total area of the Western Desert. Seventy one water samples were collected from these three oases and subjected to both chemical and isotopic analysis to evaluate their groundwater resources. The hydrochemical data of these water samples reveals that thier salinity doesn't exceed 500 mg/I as well as the presence of marine and meteoric water types with different percentage. The mineralization of the investigated groundwater may be evoluated under flusing the original marine water entrapped between the pores of the aquifer matrix by meteoric water which is furthely modified through leaching, dissolution, cation exchange and oxidation-reduction processes. The investigated groundwater indicates some sort of quality hazards for drinking and domestic purposes due to the high concentration of both iron (agverage 6 mg/1) and hydrogen sulphide (average 2.5 nig/I ) relative to WHO standard. This water can be used safety for all kinds of livestocks.

  • Varieties and Sources of Sandstone Used in Ancient Egyptian Temples
    The Journal of Ancient Egyptian Architecture vol. 1, 2016 Varieties and sources of sandstone used in Ancient Egyptian temples James A. Harrell Cite this article: J. A. Harrell, ‘Varieties and sources of sandstone used in Ancient Egyptian temples’, JAEA 1, 2016, pp. 11-37. JAEA www.egyptian-architecture.com ISSN 2472-999X Published under Creative Commons CC-BY-NC 2.0 JAEA 1, 2016, pp. 11-37. www.egyptian-architecture.com Varieties and sources of sandstone used in Ancient Egyptian temples J. A. Harrell1 From Early Dynastic times onward, limestone was the construction material of choice for An- cient Egyptian temples, pyramids, and mastabas wherever limestone bedrock occurred, that is, along the Mediterranean coast, in the northern parts of the Western and Eastern Deserts, and in the Nile Valley between Cairo and Esna (fig. 1). Sandstone bedrock is present in the Nile Valley from Esna south into Sudan as well as in the adjacent deserts, and within this region it was the only building stone employed.2 Sandstone was also imported into the Nile Valley’s limestone region as far north as el-‘Sheikh Ibada and nearby el-‘Amarna, where it was used for New Kingdom tem- ples. There are sandstone temples further north in the Bahariya and Faiyum depressions, but these were built with local materials. The first large-scale use of sandstone occurred near Edfu in Upper Egypt, where it was employed for interior pavement and wall veneer in an Early Dynastic tomb at Hierakonpolis3 and also for a small 3rd Dynasty pyramid at Naga el-Goneima.4 Apart from this latter structure, the earliest use of sandstone in monumental architecture was for Middle Kingdom temples in the Abydos-Thebes region with the outstanding example the 11th Dynasty mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II (Nebhepetre) at Deir el-Bahri.

Around 30 species of pteridophytic spores, 26 species of an- giosperm pollen, 24 species of gymnosperm pollen and 27 species of dinoflagellate cysts have been recorded. However, achritarchs, microforaminiferal test linings and freshwater algae are impoverished and sparsely documented through- out the Raha Formation. Two palynozones have been identified based on some stratigraphically significant pollen and spores, arranged from youngest to oldest: (1) Palynozone I (Classopollis brasiliensis–Tricolpites sagax Assemblage Zone) of late Cenomanian age; (2) Palynozone II (Afropollis jardinus–Crybelosporites pannuceus Assemblage Zone) of early-middle Cenomanian age. The distribution and ecological affiliation of specific palynomorph species, as well as various palyno- facies parameters, are interpreted. A shallow marine environment from supratidal to distal inner neritic under proximal suboxic–anoxic to dysoxic–anoxic shelf conditions is reconstructed.
