Description

Excerpt from An Egyptian Oasis<br/><br/>The character of the people at the present day a curious mixture of stupidity, apathy, and shrewd ness Â seems to re?ect in great measure their past history, as well as the peculiar conditions under which they still live. A history of the inhabitants since the Withdrawal of the Roman garrisons would resolve itself into an account of an endless combat with Nature, which, with sand and wind as its chief agents, has never abated its efforts to recover those tracts which the Ancients, by the exercise of much skill and industry, wrested from the desert.
