Archaeological Find in Bir al-Shagala Dahla
The accredited Egyptian archaeologist from the Supreme Council of Antiquities has uncovered a tumulus tomb made of mud bricks dating back to the Roman era, located in Bair al-Shaghala area in the Western Desert Oases, within New Valley Governorate. The tomb features a unique design and rare funerary engravings, including a stone slab inscribed in ancient Greek—a lament for a person named "Psychetis," who is possibly a judge. The tomb contains a stone entrance decorated with hieroglyphic carvings, a splendid staircase leading to a covered chamber built of mud bricks, burial chambers, as well as distinctive architectural elements and engravings depicting texts, religious themes, and funerary motifs. These findings offer valuable insights into the cultural and religious practices of that period. The discovery of these archaeological elements highlights the spiritual and religious life in the oases during the Roman era.
