Egypt: Archaeologists find 2,000-year-old tombs at the Marina al-Alamein

Archaeologists in Egypt discovered 2000-year-old tombs in Marina al-Alamein, containing human remains, pottery, amphorae, and other burial goods, including 24 gold objects placed in the mouths of the deceased. These findings suggest the site may correspond to the ancient city of Leukaspis, a Mediterranean port that thrived during the Hellenistic and Byzantine periods. The discovery adds to over 44 known graves found since 1986 when the site was uncovered during construction work. Separately, archaeologists in the Dachla Oasis revealed remnants of a Byzantine-era settlement dating back to the fourth century, built from sun-dried bricks and featuring organized urban planning, public spaces, and defensive structures.
