The Items
The resting room of the Wadi Hitan Fossil & Climate Change Museum. The newly completed Wadi Hitan Fossil and Climate Change Museum features the largest intact “Basilosaurus isis” whale fossil and a unique collection of fossils found nowhere else in the world. Wadi El Hitan was transformed through climate change from sea to a hyper-arid desert over millions of years. The museum aims to educate the public about climate change and raise awareness about preventing its negative effects on the environment and people.
