Prehistoric Giants From Egypt

Have you ever wondered what Egypt looked like long before the time of the pharaohs? Imagine a land teeming with life, not a vast desert but a thriving world of giants on land and sea!

Join me for an exciting adventure into prehistoric Egypt, where you’ll meet incredible creatures like the mighty Spinosaurus, the ancient Tutcetus, colossal fishes, and so much more!

Through the latest discoveries by Egypt’s very own Sallam Lab team, we’ll uncover the secrets of this ancient world.
