Yeah I remember many years ago the estimate was 15,000 for archaeology, 4,000 might fit within that frame work.Thanks

I visited that location in '93 the split is very startling but once you get close and can see the texture of the rock within the split you can see it was natural - I've never seen a close up image of the actual split.

This of course includes areas outside of Egyptology but related to archaeology, linguistics, etc., dealing with Egypt and the ancient Egyptian language, culture, environment and religion.

Or did Cypriot traders obtain it from Greece then trade it to the Levant coast then they to Egypt - all manner of possibilities.

"Egypt has no domestic silver ore sources and silver is rarely found in the Egyptian archaeological record until the Middle Bronze Age. Bracelets found in the tomb of queen Hetepheres I, mother of pyramid builder king Khufu (date of reign c. 2589–2566 BC), form the largest and most famous collection of silver artefacts from early Egypt, but they have not been analysed for decades.

Cedrus libani lives 6-800 years dating a log like that will give you much older dates like the pieces of wood from a staff that was found in one of the shafts. However, I would agree that they should be dated. Only two charcoal samples were taken in the 1995 study.

I came across it long ago but it had little information, which surprised me then too - you would think it would be treated more importantly - I think there is a Polish language paper somewhere, someplace with more details. One would think it would be more important, have more of an impact but then Sudan has been politically chaotic for decades.
