for the surprising report of it click on jebel uweinat
at left here
http://www.fjexpeditions.com/frameset/geography.htm
& skip directly if you can to the next to last copy
block

the location of it in the karkur talh is shown on this
topo to be well east of the tripoint
http://lazarus.elte.hu/~zoltorok/almasy/uweinat_map.jpg
& evidently nowheres near any integral meridian


& here about a third of the way down are pix of one of
the dozen apparent lysd markers circa 1934 reported by
the ibs
http://www.fjexpeditions.com/frameset/oct04.htm
looking older but otherwise similar in format to the
egsd signs


but apparently none on the way to true eglysd


my latest guess about these egsd signs btw is that
they were installed by egypt shortly after the
altercation of 1992 in which she flexed her muscles
toward the sudan & finally asserted her full treaty
sovereignty as far south as the 22nd parallel all the
way from the red sea to eglysd
just when she would so very naturally have taken the
trouble to unilaterally mark this whole line except
the nile salient
at regular intervals like any land owner posting
private property

& since the red sea is just about exactly 10 degrees
east of egsd sign number 50 at 22x27
i figure that means 1 sign every 12 minutes at most
so the sequence should end at 60 or lower not very far
from eglysd
tho perhaps at a much more respectful distance from
libya than sudan
hence not necessarily very close to eglysd at all
& in fact maybe even necessarily not at all close to
it
so as not to risk any such dustup with libya

& these 1934ish lysd signs seem to be very much the
same sort of unilateral muscle flexing thing
tho by italy in that case
to post the most frequented portion at least of her
newly acquired or asserted sovereign limits

so equally red herrings all i think at this point &
equally demystified too



researching egly tho beyond the ibs has proved to be
like pulling hens teeth

wonder what brownlie has on it
