description: "Eman Ghoneim is an Egyptian/American geomorphologist. In March 2006, Dr. Ghoneim, together with Farouk El-Baz, discovered the Kebira Crater, a possible impact crater in the Sahara. In 2007, while processing microwave space data, Ghoneim discovered an ancient mega-lake (30,750 km2) buried beneath the sand of the Great Sahara in Northern Darfur, Sudan. In May 2024, using radar remote sensing, Ghoneim and her team discovered a long-lost ancient branch of the Nile River, dubbed the Ahramat, given its close proximity to the largest concentration of pyramids in Egypt. Ghoneim's findings suggest that this branch was suitably sized to act as a transportation waterway for workmen and building materials to the pyramids’ sites. The discovered Ahramat Branch likely played a vital role in the pyramids’ construction."
