- OK, thanks. I repositioned the images and removed the following picture, if you don't mind: Image:STS113-708-15.jpg. It is very much the same as the other one, and the other one seems more clear. Correct me if you don't agree, of course. — mark ✎ 11:20, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Water power plant ? Or new element of 'Mubarak Pumping Station' ? In the middle of the desert ?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.244.32.24 (talk) 22:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Is there anybody able to provide some hints on etymology of "Toshka"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DefaultLocale (talk • contribs) 04:38, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- It is an informal name after the Wadi Toshka (or Tushka, a well-known Pleistocene archaeological site). The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Human Evolution states under Wadi Tushka: "etym. Ar. wadi = valley, Tushka after nearby village [...] It is located 3.5 km/2 miles northwest of the abandoned village of Tushka on the western side of the Nile River; elevation is 140 m above sea level." — Ylai (talk) 21:58, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
