Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a remarkably well-preserved Byzantine-era city in the country’s western desert, dating back to the 4th century AD. Located near the Dakhla Oasis, the city yielded remains of dwellings and religious buildings, alongside numerous coins, pottery shards, and tools. Initial findings are expected to provide valuable insights into daily life, urban planning, and economic activities in Egypt under Byzantine rule. A central church, complete with guard towers, was identified at a main intersection within the city. The Dakhla Oasis region is on the verge of being added to UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Coins recovered from the site feature depictions of Byzantine emperors, Christian symbols, and Latin inscriptions, with some golden coins dating back to the reign of Roman Emperor Constantius II (337-361 AD). Archaeologists also unearthed approximately 200 pottery fragments believed to have been used for administrative purposes, containing records of correspondence and trade.
