At the end of May, a team of Egyptian archaeologists, led by Dr. Ahmed Hassan, made an exciting discovery in the Luxor region, revealing a treasure trove of ancient Egyptian relics dating back to the Pharaonic era. The find was made during excavations at the Gebel el-Silsila archaeological site, an area known for its historical significance and archaeological wealth.
The Gebel el-Silsila Treasure:
The most notable discovery is a collection of stone figurines depicting gods, pharaohs and divine figures from ancient Egypt. These carved figurines are exquisite craftsmanship and offer an absolutely fascinating insight into Egyptian religion and culture thousands of years ago. Each piece is unique in its design and detail, indicating the artistic skill of ancient Egyptian craftsmen.
In addition to the figurines, hieroglyphic inscriptions have been found that shed light on the daily life and spiritual beliefs of the time. These inscriptions provide important clues about the dynasty that ruled the region at the time, as well as the religious and ritual practices that were carried out at Gebel el-Silsila.
