A French-Norwegian archaeological team have unearthed new Christian ruins, including churches and monks' cells, in Egypt's Western Desert.
The mission "discovered during its third excavation campaign at the site of Tal Ganoub Qasr al-Agouz in the Bahariya Oasis several buildings made of basalt, others carved into the bedrock and some made of mud bricks," the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry said in a statement.
The complex is comprised of "six sectors containing the ruins of three churches and monks' cells", whose "walls bear graffiti and symbols with Coptic connotations," said Osama Talaat, head of Islamic, Coptic and Jewish Antiquities at the ministry.
