Gebel Qatrani
Gebel Qatrani
Gebel Qatrani or Jebel Qatrani is a mountain located north of Lake Qarun in the Fayoum region of Egypt. Many fossils related to the ancestors of monkeys and elephants (Moeritherium) and other terrestrial and marshland mammals were found in this mountain, as well as a lot of fossilized wood.
The mountain includes a group of ancient quarries from the Pharaonic period of Egypt that indicates an important stage in the development of the use of stoneware, as these quarries have been exploited since the 3rd millennium BC.
Gebel Qatrani was submitted in 2003 to the UNESCO Tentative List in Egypt as part of Gebel Qatrani Area, Lake Qaroun Nature Reserve.
