DescriptionWadi Hitan (Whale Valley) Panorama.jpg |
العربية: وادي الحيتان.
وادي الحيتان هو أحد أبرز وأهم مواقع صيد الأحافير في العالم، وهو المكانُ الذي استنتج فيه العُلماء بشكلٍ لا يحتمل التأويل أنَّ الحيتان تطوَّرت من ثدييَّاتٍ أرضيَّةٍ، وهي إحدى أبرز النظريَّات التي قال بها داروين في مؤلَّفه حامل عنوان «أصل الأنواع». يضُمُّ وادي الحيتان الهياكل العظميَّة لِعدَّة فصائل من الحيتان البائدة في موطنها القديم المُندثر، وهو خليج بحر التيثس الغني بِالمُغذيات والذي كان موجودًا مُنذ ما يقرب من 30 إلى 40 مليون سنة، في المنطقة التي أصبحت تُشكِّلُ اليوم وسط مصر.
English: Wadi Al-Hitan, the Whale Valley.
Wadi Al-Hitan is a very important fossil site that firmly establishes the fossil record of whale evolution from land mammals, one of Darwin's major assertions in "The Origin of Species." The wadi hosts skeletons of families of archaic whales in their original geological and geographic setting of the shallow, nutrient-rich bay of the Tethys Sea of 30-40 million years ago, in what is now central Egypt.
Français : Ouadi Al-Hitan, ou la « Vallée des Baleines ». Ce lieu est un important site fossilifère, il renferme des fossiles de cétacés archaïques qui se sont formés dans les eaux riches et peu profondes d'un golfe de la mer Thétys, dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Égypte centrale, il y a 30 à 40 millions d'années. Ces fossiles permettent de démontrer le passage évolutif des ancêtres des cétacés actuels de la terre ferme vers la mer, qui avait été prédit pa Darwin dans son Origine des espèces. |
