CAIRO, Egypt. Imagine traveling across a 4,000-mile-wide (6,437.4-kilometer) desert with little water nearby. Now, imagine running across that same desert, at least 44 miles (70.8 kilometers) at a time, day after day. That's just what three men did recently. They became the first modern runners to cross the Sahara Desert.

Describe the men's journey across Africa. What challenges did the men face? Where did their journey take them? Use information from the lesson in your answer.


Charlie Engle of the U.S., Ray Zahab of Canada, and Kevin Lin of Taiwan completed the run in 111 days. They traveled through six countries. Starting in Senegal, they ran through Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya, and Egypt. After nearly four months, they reached Egypt's Red Sea. There, they put their hands in the water to show that they had crossed the finish line.


"We touched the water in Senegal at the beginning, and we touched the water in the Red Sea at the end. They were the bookends of our journey," said Engle. He added, "It will take time to sink in . . . but this is an absolutely once-in-a-lifetime thing. . . . [Now] that I know how hard this is, I would never consider crossing the Sahara on foot again."


Most people would never have considered such a journey in the first place. The Sahara Desert is one of the harshest places on Earth. During the day, the sun can send temperatures soaring above 100 degrees (over 37 degrees Celsius). Nighttime temperatures can dip below freezing. Strong winds send sand flying in every direction, making it difficult to see and breathe.


Engle, Zahab, and Lin are all experienced athletes. They have run in adventure races around the world. Still, nothing would have prepared them for the Sahara. At various times during the run, they suffered from upset stomachs, cramping, and knee injuries. At the same time, they had to endure the unforgiving climate.


The runners' days were exhausting, too. After waking up at 4 a.m., the trio would begin running at about five. Around noon, they would take a lunch break, eating pasta, tuna, and vegetables—all foods that provide energy. After a short nap in a tent on thin mattresses, they would start running again. They would run until about 9:30 p.m.


The runners brought along supplies and equipment to protect themselves from the dangers of the desert. They had devices that used the global positioning system to track their route. They also teamed up with local experts and sports trainers. These people followed the runners in four-wheel-drive vehicles.


Despite the planning and preparation, the runners often questioned whether they were doing the right thing. Sometimes the wind was so harsh that the runners could not keep the sand out of their clothes. The three kept going, however. They ran up to 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) a day. That's twice the length of a city marathon.


A film crew also followed the runners. The crew was recording the journey for actor Matt Damon's movie company. Damon will make a movie about the trip called "Running the Sahara."


Why did the athletes make the run? They welcomed the challenge. They also wanted to raise awareness about an ongoing problem. Desert communities often struggle to find clean water. Several times, the athletes stopped near wells to talk with villagers about the situation.


"It started off as a huge motivator, especially as we passed through countries where the water wasn't clean," Engle said. He and the other runners hope that their work will help the efforts of H2O Africa. The group helps countries find or make clean water. The athletes plan to raise money for the group.


"We have seen firsthand the need for clean water, which we take for granted in North America," Zahab said.

The desert run was full of challenges. Now that the runners have finished, the men know that they will never be the same.


"This has been a life changing event," Engle said.

SAQQARA, Egypt. An ancient Egyptian burial site called Saqqara is over 4,000 years old, but much of the area has yet to be discovered. The sizeable area was a burial site for the rulers of ancient Memphis. Memphis was the capital of the Old Kingdom. For this reason, each new find is a marvel. Recently, officials unearthed two amazing discoveries at Saqqara.

A Lost Pyramid

Believe it or not, it's possible to lose a giant pyramid. It can be buried under sand over thousands of years. In November 2008, archaeologists discovered a pyramid under the sands of Saqqara. Since then, officials have determined that the 4,300-year-old pyramid belonged to Queen Sesheshet.

A team led by Zahi Hawass had been digging at the location for two years. That's when they determined that what they had found was the base of a pyramid. Only 16 feet (about 5 meters) of the pyramid remains standing. Until officials dug it out, it had been buried under 65 feet (about 20 meters) of sand.

"There was so much sand dumped here that no one had any idea there was something buried underneath," said Hawass.

Archaeologists also found parts of the pyramid's white limestone casing. The limestone is believed to have covered the entire pyramid. After studying the casing, archaeologists determined that the complete pyramid was once 45 feet (about 14 meters) high.

Once they had uncovered the pyramid, scientists set about learning more about it. Using an air brush, one worker cleaned sand from stunning carvings on the white limestone casing. Meanwhile, archaeologists studied the carvings. The drawings tell stories of ancient Egypt. They may help uncover the mysteries of the pyramids.

In January, archaeologists entered the burial chamber inside the pyramid. They found the mummy of Queen Sesheshet. The queen's son Teti became an Egyptian king.

"To find a new pyramid is always exciting," said Hawass. "And this one is magical. It belonged to a queen."

The find is important because it adds to the understanding of ancient Egypt. It tells about the time from 2,322 BCE to 2,151 BCE. This was a time when Egypt made advances in agriculture and became very rich. At the end of this time, however, the riches came to an end. Soon, the Old Kingdom would fall.

What Tombs Tell Us

Saqqara is a source of endless wonder. In December 2008, archaeologists uncovered a pair of 4,300-year-old tombs near Queen Sesheshet's pyramid. The discovery shows that the burial site of Saqqara is even larger than once thought.

"… The two tombs are the beginning of a big, large [burial ground]," said Zahi Hawass.

Archaeologists studied the burial chambers. They determined that the tombs were built for high officials. One tomb describes the man for whom it was built. The second tomb includes carvings and a drawing of a seated woman.

Archaeologists are not especially interested in the tombs themselves. Why not? The tombs were not built for kings. Instead, the archaeologists are concentrating on what the tombs tell them.

"This [discovery] means the royal [burial ground] is bigger than we thought," said Saleh Suleiman. Suleiman is the archaeologist who uncovered the two tombs.

Aidan Dodson is an archaeologist. Dodson was not involved in the dig. However, Dodson said that the discovery shows that there are other areas waiting to be explored.

"It shows that the blank areas of the maps of Saqqara aren't really empty at all. It's just that archaeologists haven't [gotten around] to digging them," Dodson said.

Digging has been going on at Saqqara for about 150 years. This work has uncovered pyramids, tombs, and other burial areas mostly from the Old Kingdom. Yet past digs have concentrated on just one area. The area where the latest discoveries were found has been largely untouched.

According to Hawass, only 30 percent of Egypt's monuments have been uncovered. The rest are still under the sand.
