Cairo University researchers pulled 14 fossilized shark teeth from a remote Egyptian plateau, identifying five extinct species that once prowled a warm sea where sand and rock now stretch for hundreds of miles. The teeth came from the Abu-Tartur Plateau, a phosphate-rich highland in Egypt's Western Desert roughly 400 miles southwest of Cairo. The plateau sits between the Kharga and Dakhla oases, today one of the country's most important mining and fertilizer sites. More than 70 million years ago, it was the floor of a tropical ocean. A team led by Cairo University recovered the fossils from a phosphate layer at the site and matched them against specimens found elsewhere in the world. Their findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal…Open
Perchance AI By Jeannie DeAngelis The Islamic-socialist political transformation Obama spent years helping to cultivate could finally be coming to pass.
AI:The long-term geopolitical strategy orchestrated by the Obama administration appears to be reaching its endgame as it successfully fosters an Islamic-socialist transformation across key regions. By exerting influence in Cairo and promoting figures like Zohran Mamdani, this calculated effort seeks to reshape global power structures under the facade of progressive social justice and radical redistribution.

TakiMag (Photo by: Jim West/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) I have spent a lot of time in the Middle East, and think about the place even more when far from its pungent smells and 1,001 Nights mysteries. I was sent there very young because my father owned textile factories in Africa, in Khartoum, and every weekend was spent in Cairo or Alexandria. Both cities back then were still cosmopolitan, with wonderful hotels, nightclubs, and restaurants. Nasser had not yet come to power, although King Farouk had been recently…Open
