Summary

"An Egyptian Oasis: An Account of the Oasis of Kharga in the Libyan Desert" by H. J. Llewellyn Beadnell is a scientific book from the early 1900s that carefully looks at the Oasis of Kharga, which is found far away in the Libyan Desert. Focusing on history, geography, and water, the book tells the story of this interesting place and is written for people interested in old things, earth science, and how places are laid out. Kharga is introduced as a fascinating area that can now be reached by train from the Nile Valley and is a contrast from the rich Nile Valley, this green oasis has significance and a unique culture rooted in ancient Libyan times. The book also explains how water lies under the ground and discusses the challenges faced with sand and wind shaping the land and the lives of those who live there.
