Egyptin aavikolta löytyi bysanttilaisen kaupungin jäännökset

Researchers discovered remnants of a Byzantine-era city in the Western Desert of Egypt, dating back to the 3rd century AD. The site includes streets, courtyards, residential buildings, a basilica-style church, and defensive structures. Artifacts such as pottery shards used for writing, bronze and gold coins were also found. Another discovery was made along the Mediterranean coast, approximately 100 kilometers from Alexandria, where excavations revealed 18 Greek-Roman tombs estimated to be nearly 2,000 years old. Many of these tombs still contained their original inscriptions. Human remains, ceramics, amphorae, and other burial items were uncovered, including 24 gold objects placed in the mouths of the deceased, a common burial practice at the time.
