http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Wadi Al-Hitan in Egypt is the most important site in the world that shows the evolution of whales from land animals with feet, to a marine existence WITH fins. A 3k/1.8m track leads past 13 different fossilized areas along with informational displays. This desolate desert is a restricted area, and UNESCO World Heritage Site. How difficult to believe this was once a shallow sea, filled with Dorudon and Basilosaurus Whales, 40 million years ago! Blowing sand already covers unearthed skeletons as we walk among the remains.
