A significant discovery of ancient Egyptian artifacts has been made at Tell al-Deir necropolis in Damietta city. Unearthed by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, the 63 mud-brick tombs contain gold pieces, jewelry, statues, and funerary amulets. The finds, dating from the Late and Ptolemaic periods, are currently being restored and classified, with potential plans for museum displays, according to Neveine el-Arif of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
Among the finds: a pottery vessel containing 38 bronze coins from the Ptolemaic period. The Ptolemaic dynasty, beginning with Ptolemy I in 305 BC and ending with Cleopatra, marked Egypt's final era before its incorporation into the Roman Empire. El-Arif hinted that some items might be exhibited in the future, reminiscent of the 2018 display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, which in a first showcased 300 artifacts from the same period.
