Trained as an orientalist and archaeologists, he planned several expeditions to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles, in the process making valuable topographical surveys and penned down his experiences in his famous books. This expedition took him into the heart of Persia, modern day Iran. Iran has a long and rich history, with some of the most famous conquerors and war lords ever to dominate the continent of Asia. Some of the world's most ancient settlements have been excavated in the Caspian region and on the Iranian plateau; village life began there c.4000 B.C. The Aryans came about 2000 B.C. and split into two main groups, the Medes and the Persians. The Persian Empire founded (c.550 B.C.) by Cyrus the Great was succeeded, after a period of Greek and Parthian rule, by the Sassanid in the early 3d century A.D. Their control was weakened when Arab invaders took (636) the capital, Ctesiphon; it ended when the Arabs defeated the Sassanid armies at Nahavand in 641. With the invasion of Persia the Arabs brought Islam. The Turks began invading in the 10th century. and soon established several Turkish states. The Turks were followed by the Mongols, led by Jenghiz Khan in the 13th century and Timur in the late 14th century.

This is a detailed first-hand expedition report of discoveries made by accomplished Libyan Desert explorer Ralph A. Bagnold. Although retired from the military since 1935, Bagnold remained a desert explorer. With the aid of the Egypt Exploration Society, in 1938 Bagnold organized his most ambitious scientific expedition to the Gilf Kebir and Uweinat. While on this venture, fellow explorers, Hans Winkler, recorded rock art at Karkur Talh, and Oliver Myers excavated two main neolithic sites in the Gilf Kebir, in Wadi Bakht and Ard al Akhdar. Bagnold and Shaw also discovered a new rock art site in Karkur Murr, and one also in Wadi Abd el Melik in the Gilf Kebir. With contributions by Bagnold's expedition members Myers, Peel and Winkler, this comprehensive dissertation is clearly outlined in sections dealing with the Sir Robert Mond expedition, archaeological work - specifically of Palaeolithic sites and later sites, on rock-drawings and paintings, Tibu (Guraan Remains), dramatic features and craters of the Gilf Kebir, rock pictures at Uweinat, Sand Movement and Dunes, and a section describing logistics such as transport, navigation and supplies. This is Bagnold's preliminary reveal of critical findings, which precedes the release of his book, 'The Physics of Blown Sand and Desert Dunes' which was not published until 1941. A marble plaque in memory of Bagnold's 1938 Egypt Exploration Society's Expedition was later placed along the Tropic of Cancer at Gilf Kebir by the Zarzora Expedition.
