New Find at Tell El-Yehudia Cemeteries
The Egyptian archaeological mission in the Tel Yahudia area of Qalyubia Governorate has uncovered a number of rock-cut tombs belonging to different architectural styles. Concurrently, remains of a Roman camp were also discovered in the site's surface layers. Evidence indicates that these tombs date back to the late New Kingdom period and were used until the Late period, demonstrating the continuity of funerary activity across multiple historical eras. The excavation also revealed two types of tombs: the first featuring a staircase entrance leading to a chamber with openings for burials, and the second being a rectangular shaft leading to two dedicated burial rooms. These are unique styles linked to the region's clayey terrain. This discovery significantly contributes to the area's history, especially since such tombs are rare in the Nile Delta. It highlights the region's continued strategic use across different ages, from the Pharaonic Hyksos period through the Greek and Roman eras, reflecting the site's historical importance and its evolution over time.
