Farouk El-Baz eyes where always destined to Egypt during his stay in America, he gathered all his samples and researches and returned back to his country, sky in the hope to make high institute of geology, was surprised about telling him text "you should receive your work as a teacher of chemistry at the higher institute in Sues" in institute had never heard of it before, simply, after 3 months, had to go to receive his work in mysterious Institute, where he meet one of his physicists friend, got a nuclear engineering from Russia, had taught a sound and light, where advised him to get back his papers after a minutes submission to the management of the Institute, immediately.
