CAIRO: Egyptian Ministry of Environment announced Saturday that a huge valley which contains many prehistoric whale skeletons have been recently discovered in a valley north of Lake Qarun in Fayoum governorate.

On its website, the ministry quoted by China’s Xinhua news agency, said that a whole skull, two jaws, 20 vertebraes and some ribs were found.

The discovery enriched the whales’ historic record in Egypt and the whole world.

Ten vertebraes, which belonged to a bigger whale believed to be new species, were found in the same place in addition to some of its teeth, it added.

Lake Qarun was a freshwater one in the prehistoric period but is today a saltwater lake. It is a source of tilapia and other fish in the local area.
