考古学家在埃及新河谷省的达赫拉绿洲发掘出一座保存完好的四世纪（公元301-456年）拜占庭时期城市，该遗址揭示了当时的日常生活、城市发展状况与经济活动 [1]。此次发现的遗迹包括一座巴西利卡式教堂、防御塔楼、面包炉以及大量青铜硬币和约200块陶片（ostraca），其中部分金币可追溯至君士坦提乌斯二世统治时期 [1]。这些实物证据为研究古埃及在拜占庭帝国统治时期的历史提供了重要线索 [1]。
与此同时，位于亚历山大港以西约100公里的 Marina el-Alamein 遗址也取得了重大发现，考古团队在此发掘出18座古墓及大量文物 [1]。该批墓葬包含11座岩凿墓和7座石灰石墓，使得该遗址累计发现的墓葬总数达到48座 [1]。出土物品中包括一具长达2.5米的花岗岩石棺以及一件黄金舌头陪葬品 [1]。
Archaeologists have discovered a well-preserved fourth-century Byzantine-era city within the Dakhla Oasis in New Valley Province, located in Egypt's Western Desert [1]. The excavation has revealed significant evidence of daily life, urban development, and economic activity during that period [1]. Among the findings are basilican churches, defensive towers, bread ovens, bronze coins including gold pieces from the reign of Constantius II, and approximately 200 pottery shards known as ostraca [1].
Simultaneously, at the Marina el-Alamein site situated roughly 100 kilometers west of Alexandria, researchers uncovered 18 tombs alongside a vast quantity of artifacts [1]. This latest discovery brings the total number of graves identified at the Marina el-Alamein location to 48; these include 11 rock-cut tombs and seven limestone tombs [1]. The site also yielded a granite sarcophagus measuring 2.5 meters in length, as well as gold tongue amulets used as grave goods [1]. These combined findings provide crucial physical evidence for studying the history of ancient Egypt under Byzantine rule [1].
