CAIRO — The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a press release March 13 that a Norwegian-French archaeological mission operating in Egypt discovered ancient buildings at a site that monks settled in during the fifth century in the Bahariya Oasis, to the southwest of Cairo.
The ministry noted that the mission unearthed several buildings made of basalt stone and carved into the rock, as well as buildings made of mud bricks in the Tal area, south of Qasr al-Ajouz in the Bahariya Oasis.
