Hi guys. I thought I would throw this in here. We all know about the Libyan Desert Glass that was used by the Egyptians. There are only 2 listed craters in Egypt: The Kamil and the Kebira craters. The Kamil is suspected of being less than 5000 years old. It is posited that this impact could have helped with the sudden demise of the Old Kingdom. A friend of mine, Chuck (RIP) did a video on this: link I was bored so compiled my own list of candidates. The question is this: Are the majority volcanic? Some other process? I'm thinking a meteor came in and broke apart with both ground and air detonations? Here they are: EGYPT CRATERS.kmz (8.93 KB) Have a look and see what you think. Example: Cheers!

..... only 2 listed craters in Egypt: The Kamil and the Kebira ...... From Wikipedia: Kebira Crater (Arabic: فوهة كبيرة) is the name given to a circular topographic feature that was identified in 2007 by Farouk El-Baz and Eman Ghoneim using satellite imagery, Radarsat-1, and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data .... Based solely on their interpretations of the remote sensing data, they argue that this feature is an exceptionally large, double-ringed, extraterrestrial impact crater. .... They neither conducted any fieldwork at this feature nor studied any samples collected from it.[1] However, the Kebira Crater is currently not listed in the Earth Impact Database.[2] Field trips to investigate the feature have found no supporting evidence. The "central uplift" clearly retains the horizontal bedding of the surrounding sandstone tableland, providing clear evidence against a possible impact origin.[3][4][5]

While that might be correct for Keriba, what about all those other little ones?
