Early heartland of civilization bares its
anatomy to Astronauts James A. McDivitt
and Edward H. White as they fly 115 miles
above in Gemini 4. In Egypt's funnel-shaped
delta-fleetingly taken by McDivitt for a
giant lava flow-crowd 27,500,000 people,
nourished by the splayed veins of the River
Nile. Neither pilot could spot the Pyramids
(left), near Cairo in the funnel's throat. Be-
yond Suez, the Sinai desert shows pale as
bleached bone, while across the Israeli bor-
der in the Negev, left center, gardens bloom
from the sands. In this 1,000-mile view, wa-
ter-precious as blood-divides sere from
sown. Such portraits from space give scien-
tists a fresh look at world geography.
