Abstract
Data has been geo-referenced to projected coordinate system WGS 1984 36N. Files have been slightly modified to remove modern roads, buildings, etc. around the archaeological area of Saqqara. Raster attempts to visualize ancient ground level during the Late Period and the Greco-Roman Period.
Purpose
Raster created using digitized contour line files based on the Egyptian Ministry of Housing and Reconstruction (MHR Le Caire) 1:5000 series, 1978, H21 and H22. Available at: https://lccn.loc.gov/00553301
