Page size: 33 x 38.1 cm

Annotations: Climate- In prehistoric times before the subsidence of Egypt and the elevation of the surrounding lands"the climate was for ages quite as moist as that of the Mediterranean at present and there can be no doubt that the country was wooded as in all other wet climates. The cause of the present dryness of Egypt is that it is surrounded by higher lands on all sides but the north and the north wind must become heated in blowing south and cannot lose any moisture. The only rain now precipitated is curiously in the low lands west & south west of Egypt which are entirely desert. On the south and east the higher mountains drain the air of all the moisture it can part with"-- W.M. Flinders Petrie
