Nile Delta Finds 560 Funerary Statues
The Egyptian archaeological mission at the Tombs of Quesna in Menoufiya Governorate has uncovered a new funerary complex dating back to the late and Greco-Roman periods. It includes a hall and chambers containing human remains and funerary artifacts such as Osirian statuettes, texts from the Book of the Dead, along with amulets and pottery. Additionally, there are examples of imported pottery from the island of Rhodes. The findings suggest active trade relations between Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean during these periods and reveal unconventional burial practices that are currently under study. These discoveries provide new insights into the religious and economic life of that era.
