The Dig at Wadi Anqa

Created and Curated by Ken Holm

Egypt, 1933. You are the junior surveyor on an expedition to the Gilf Kebir, the great unmapped plateau in the far southwest of the Western Desert. Your job is simple: follow last year's map and check it. But the hills arrive late, the wadis are in the wrong places, and somebody on the expedition knows why.
