The degree to which the ancient Egyptians controlled the Western Desert has never been fully explored, and the impact of the Saharan peoples on Egypt is not fully understood, especially during its formative period. ... With this in mind, the Theban Desert Road Survey has undertaken an investigation of ancient Egyptian roads in the Western Desert. ...

Deserts, the Red Land, bracket the narrow strip of alluvial Black Land that borders the Nile. Networks of desert roads ascended to the high desert from the Nile Valley, providing access to the mineral wealth and Red Sea ports of the Eastern Desert, the oasis depressions and trade networks of the Western Desert.

QuoteThe researchers also discovered rock art depicting a herd of elephants that was carved between 4,000-3,500 B.C.E.

There is no significant event which occurs in Year 13 Akhenaten, although Year 12 Akhenaten was the Durbar (tributes) year, in which Akhenaten receiv

I may purchase the Darnell book as they state 45 pictures but I was hoping someone here has it to tell me whether or not they give any time to the art (elephant), plus Wilkinson says that the motif of elephants are associated with artifacts of late pre-dyanstic, would love to see any of those art
