Kom El Shoqafa: The cemetery of secrets and arts in the heart of Alexandria
In the city of Alexandria, which is full of history and civilization, is located the Kom el Shoqafa cemetery, which is one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. It was discovered in 1900 by accident, when a donkey fell into the opening of a pond. The cemetery includes three levels of basins containing about 300 bodies from the Roman period, and various artistic elements appear that combine Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. This cemetery reflects the cultural and religious interaction between the peoples of the Mediterranean at that time, and bears witness to the splendor and beauty of burial art in Egypt.
