In the Egyptian desert lies a green depression fed by an ancient lake. Robert Hanbury Brown investigates the Fayum and vanished Lake Moeris, weighing rival theories about the great basin and its old waterworks. A careful study of geography, engineering, and history in one storied place. Explore an oasis where the ancient world reshaped the desert.
