Roman Camp and Rock Tombs Found in Egypt
The Egyptian archaeological mission in the Tel Yediyah area of Qalyubia Governorate has uncovered rock tombs dating back to the late New Kingdom period, which continued to be used into the Late Period, alongside remains of a Roman camp built over them. The tombs are distinguished by rare architectural features, including a staircase leading to a hall with "piyat" openings for burial, and a rectangular shaft leading to two chambers. These are among the few such patterns in the Delta, contributing to the understanding of the evolution of burial styles throughout history. The discovery also confirms that the area was continuously used during different historical periods and highlights its strategic importance. This find represents a significant addition to the region’s historical record.
