Mineralogy 1 was released during October 2004. Egypt was given a choice between three options: Either identify the crystals on an ore stone, the contents of an ore cart or allow Ore Carts to follow their owner. Egypt has chosen the first option. Mineralogy 2 was released during January 2006, and is actually the second option given more than a year ago.
