News Lost Ancient Egyptian City Discovered

News reports have hit the world’s media this week as the Egyptian authorities claim to have discovered a lost, fortified city in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis.

The city dates back to the 4th century AD, when Egypt was part of the Byzantine empire and we see details of daily life, urban development and economic activities. There’s a basilica-style church, houses, coins, pottery and tools, streets, open squares and public spaces, meaning this is a truly ground-breaking discovery.
