of great age. It will be necessary for us to sift this evidence, and ascertain what it contains of truth, and to what conclusions it legitimately leads. It may be well, in the first place, to refer to the statement made in an earlier chapter as to the little antecedent probability that the remains of antediluvian or palaeocosmic man will be found in Egypt. These men lived in the Second Continental or post-glacial period, when Europe and Northern Africa were more elevated above the sea than at p...resent, and when it is probable that Egypt was almost wholly a desert region. If any men had found access to it, and lived along the strip of land by the side of the then rapid and narrow river that represented the Nile, their remains would most likely now be deeply covered with alluvial mud ; while if their habitation was at the river-mouth, by the sea-side, their former abodes would now be under the Mediterranean. There are, however, caverns which man may have haunted, and old deposits of high-level gravel, not unlike those in which supposed flint implements have been found elsewhere ; but I am not aware that any cavern deposits containing prehistoric human remains have been found, and the gravels have, as yet, yielded no certain evidence.
