the importance of Mersa/Wadi Gawasis as an ancient Egyptian harbour and departure point for long-distance expeditions in the Red Sea to the Land of Punt, particularly during the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055–1650 BCE).

The ancient Egyptians had an advanced scientific knowledge and their sciences, texts, and archeological remains reflect the breadth of that knowledge. Although geology is now recognized as the youngest of the major branches of the professional sciences, this paper addresses the use of geology by ancient Egyptians in building their civilization and...
