أَعْلَنَتْ وِزَارَةُ السِّيَاحَةِ وَالْآثَارِ الْمِصْرِيَّةُ يَوْمَ ١٢ أُغُسْطُسَ اِكْتِشَافَ ثَلَاثِ مَقَابِرَ فِي وَاحَةِ الْبَحَرِيَّةِ. وَعَمِلَتْ بَعْثَةٌ أَثَرِيَّةٌ مِصْرِيَّةٌ فِي مَوْقِعِ الشَّيْخِ صُوبِي.
تَعُودُ الْمَقَابِرُ إِلَى فَتَرَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ مِنْ تَارِيخِ مِصْرَ. وَيُرَجِّحُ الْبَاحِثُونَ أَنَّ الْمَقْبَرَةَ الْأُولَى كَانَتْ لِأُسْرَةٍ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَشْخَاصٍ. أَمَّا الْمَقْبَرَتَانِ الْأُخْرَيَانِ، فَيُرَجَّحُ أَنَّهُمَا مِنَ الْعَصْرِ الرُّومَانِيِّ.
وَجَدَ الْفَرِيقُ مَوْمِيَاوَاتٍ وَتَوَابِيتَ مِنَ الْحَجَرِ الْجِيرِيِّ وَالْفَخَّارِ. كَمَا وَجَدَ أَوَانِيَ فَخَّارِيَّةً وَقُنَيْنَاتٍ صَغِيرَةً وَمَوَائِدَ لِلْقَرَابِينِ مِنَ الْحَجَرِ.
تَقَعُ الْوَاحَةُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْغَرْبِيَّةِ فِي مِصْرَ. وَيُقَدِّمُ هٰذَا الِاكْتِشَافُ مَعْلُومَاتٍ جَدِيدَةً عَنْ تَارِيخِ سُكَّانِ الْوَاحَةِ قَدِيمًا.

Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery of three tombs in the Bahariya Oasis on August 12. An Egyptian archaeological mission worked at the Sheikh Subi site.
The tombs come from different periods of Egyptian history. Archaeologists believe that the first tomb belonged to a family of five people. The other two tombs are believed to be from the Roman period.
