Lake Qarun Protected Area

Area: 230 Km2  
Type: Wetland of International Importance
Year of establishment: 1983
Objective: Protection of marine and terrestrial wildlife
Management: The Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA).  
Geographical aspects:
The Lake is in the Fayoum Province, 40 km in length, 5.7 km in width and 34 to 43 m below sea level with a mean depth of 4.2 m. Groundwater appears to be continuously seeping from a number of sub-surface springs at the lake bottom. A gently sloping sand-plain extends from the lakeshore northwards and upwards to reach sea level at 7 km north of the shoreline. The lake is an important archeological site because of the presence of marine, fluvial and continental environment all in one area with a unique collection of fossil fauna and flora that goes back to some 40 million years.

Flora:
Occasional and sparse vegetation of mostly Tamarix nilotica, Nitraria retusa and Alhagi maurorum are found. Some salt-marsh vegetation is present due to the brackish water from the main drainage canals.

Fauna:
Lake Qaroun is well known for wetland of international importance for waterbirds. The internationally important concentrations are Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis, Shoveler Anas clypeata and Slender-billed Gull Larus genei. The internationally important Little Tern Sterna albiforns breeds here. The lake produces an average of 900 tons of fish and shrimps once a year.

Flamingo The Golden Horn is one of the most wonderful islets in the reserve. The 376-feddan-islet serves as the most convenient spots for bird reproduction, specifically the flamingo. Despite its scanty size (only one sq. km), the importance of Hamour islet rests in its favorable climate for reproduction of both resident and migrant birds, as the islet rises a little above the lake water level.

The biological diversity of the reserves are very important when one considers that 88 species of birds have been spotted here. In addition, there are rare kinds of ducks, eagles, falcons, hornbills, macaws, swans and parakeets. Many wild plants are also to be found. The lake houses more than 10 kinds of fish, including garfish, eel, cod, muskellunge, halibut, striped bass and shrimps. The reserve also offers shelter to five kinds of mammals including Egyptian hyena, red fox, beaver, kudu and gnu. Moreover, the reserve houses rare kinds of reptiles including the Egyptian Cobra, red-spotted and coral snake. All these make Lake Qaroun one of the richest nature reserves nearby Cairo.

Attraction of Park:
Lake Qaroun nature reserve, the oldest in the world, is distinguished by its matchless environmental and natural assets. Within this reserve that comprises 1155 sq. km of land and 230 sq. km of water, both the old and modern civilizations have converged. Lake Qaroun is a safe haven and warm cradle for thousands of migrant birds fleeing the severe cold of Europe. It is also the incubator and the happy nest that embraces infant birds on the lake islets during reproduction time. Various kinds of fish live in the lake waters, while many species of mammals, reptiles and birds live in this wonderful reserve. Moreover, the reserve abounds in rare fossils, archaeological and geological formations.

Lake Qaroun was declared a nature reserve by the virtue of the Prime Minister decision No 348 in 1989 with a view to protecting and conserving the biological, archaeological and geological diversity of the area. Being a damp land area, special attention was required to maintain it.


Sites of Qasr el-Sagha and Dimeh es-Siba on the northern shores of Lake Qarun.

The reserve contains several monuments including As-Sagha (goldsmiths) palace that lies at the northern part, dating back to the Pharaonic Middle Kingdom. It looks like a small temple made of rosy stone with seven compartments. Three km away from As-Sagha palace there lies Abu Lifa Monastery that was built in the monastic era on an elevated spot in the bosom of a mountain to keep monks secure from Roman oppression. Greek monuments include relics of the old town of Skitnopius, once the departure point for the south desert-bound trade caravans.

Fossils, many of which are kept at the Agriculture Museum in Cairo include those of a strange animal, found to have lived in Mount Qatrani. A carcass of the extinct mammal, which lived in this area some 35 million years ago, was exclusively discovered in Lake Qaroun. The second important fossil in the reserve is ape Egpotothyx, the oldest ape in the world dating back 32 million years ago. This animal is the connecting link between apes of old and modern ages.

Qarun diajar oleh sepupunya Musa Alaihissalam bagaimana hendak mencipta emas(ilmu kimia) setelah beliau datang mengadu kepada Musa tentang kedaifan hidupnya.Namun setelah menjadi kaya raya Qarun yg tamak dan bakhil itu enggan membayar zakat seperti yg dijanjikannya ketika diberi ilmu tersebut oleh Musa.Perbendaharaan Qarun terlalu hebat sehingga Firaun sendiri pernah menyatakan kebimbangannya terhadap pengaruh Qarun.Qarun yg berketurunan Bani Israel itu telah meninggalkan kaumnya yg miskin dan menyebelahi Firaun yg kufur.

pawer siot..tapi apa yang aku tau skang ni ilmu yang qarun belajar dah xjadik dah jika dipraktik lagi....goyang siot

Memacam lagilah kekufuran yg dilakukan oleh Qarun tetapi yang paling besar kekufurannya ialah beliau mengaku menjadi Tuhan Kekayaan.Bayangkan Firaun yg sangat zalim itu pun tidak berani menyekat pengaruh Qarun yg lebih kaya darinya.

abae

bagus anakencana......teruskan.

dulu ustaz aku cakap ilmu pengetahuan ni seluas lautan dan kita cuma tau hanya spt ambik jarum, pastu celup kat laut dan titik air di hujung jarum tu la ilmu pengetahuan yg kita tau.... mm.. lebih kurang camtu la dia cakap..

HangPC2

Awal kehidupan Qarun sangatlah miskin dan memiliki banyak anak. Sehingga pada suatu kesempatan ia meminta Musa untuk mendoakannya kepada Allah, yang ia pinta adalah kekayaan harta benda dan permintaan tersebut dikabulkan oleh Tuhan.

Dikisahkan pula dalam Al-Qur'an dia juga sering mengambil harta dari Bani Israel yang lain dan dia memiliki ribuan gudang harta melimpah ruah, penuh berisikan emas dan perak. Begitu kayanya Qarun, sehingga kunci-kunci harta bendanya harus dipikul oleh beberapa orang yang kekar, terlalu berat untuk dibawa oleh satu orang. Para tetangga dan orang sekelilingnya ingin sekali memiliki apa yang dimiliki Qarun. Menurut kisah Islam, Qarun ingkar atas nikmat Allah yang diberikan kepadanya, yang pada akhirnya ia diberi azab oleh Allah, tertimbun beserta harta bendanya kedalam tanah dalam waktu semalam. Tempat Qarun ditenggelamkan bersama dengan harta dan pengikutnya telah menjadi danau yang dikenal sebagai Danau Qarun atau dalam bahasa Arab Bahirah Qarun. Yang tersisa hanya puing-puing istana Qarun yang teletak di daerah Al Fayyum, Mesir.

Kisah Qarun inilah yang menjadikan inspirasi legenda harta-harta yang terpendam bawah tanah atau harta karun.

koboi

begitu sekali si qarun nih

darthery

Allah belum izinkan kita untuk mengetahui rahsia membuat emas seperti yg diberikan kepada Qarun.... sebab kalau orang2 sekarang dah tahu, harga emas mesti jatuh gile2.. n emas mungkin dah x laku... semua ade hikmah... huhuhu...
