A series of ancient Christian ruins, including monks’ cells and the remains of three churches with well-preserved biblical inscriptions, have been found in Egypt dating back to the fourth century AD. The findings reveal insights into the earliest monastic gatherings in Egypt over 1,500 years ago.
The Egyptian ministry of tourism and antiquities announced that the discovery of a number of ancient mud brick and basalt stone buildings were found by a Norwegian French archaeological mission working in in Qasr Al-Agouz in Bahariya Oasis. Many of the buildings had Coptic symbols and inscriptions in the walls.
