Ancient Tombs Found in Egypt
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery of 18 ancient tombs in Marina Alamein city along Egypt's northwestern coast, bringing the total number of tombs discovered since 1986 to 44. The tombs include 11 rock-cut tombs and 7 constructed from limestone, all in good preservation. Dozens of archaeological finds such as pottery, jars, and statues were also uncovered. These discoveries reflect social and cultural diversity and underscore the continued influence of ancient Egyptian architecture on funerary structures during the Greek and Roman periods. The city is located approximately 100 kilometers west of Alexandria and is believed to have been known as "Leukaspis." It flourished from the Hellenistic era through the Byzantine period.
