An Egyptian archaeological mission from the Supreme Council of Antiquities, working at the Bir al-Shaghala site in the Dakhla Oasis (New Valley Governorate), has uncovered a mud-brick, pyramid-shaped tomb dating back to the Roman era. Built for a man and his wife, this discovery highlights the architectural, artistic, and funerary diversity that characterized the Egyptian oases during that period. The discovery is distinguished by its unique architectural layout and a collection of rare funerary inscriptions and texts. These include a scene depicting the seventh hour of the *Amduat*—one of the ancient Egyptian texts describing the journey through the afterlife—as well as a stone stele bearing a funerary epitaph written in Ancient Greek.

An Egyptian archaeological mission working at the Tell al-Yahudiya site in Qalyubia Governorate has uncovered—during ongoing excavations—several rock-cut tombs representing various architectural styles. Additionally, the mission continued to reveal the remains of a Roman camp situated in the surface layer above these rock-cut tombs. Dr. Hisham El-Leithy, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, explained that this discovery is a significant addition to the history of the Tell al-Yahudiya site. He noted that the importance of these tombs lies not only in their diverse architectural styles but also in the rarity of such rock-cut tombs in the Delta region; the area's characteristic clay soil typically makes such structures uncommon, making this discovery particularly valuable for understanding burial patterns and their evolution in the eastern Delta across different eras. Join us with * Egypt Day Tours * to enjoy our daily excursion offers. We recommend * Cairo Day Tou...
