Incredible 2,200-year-old Greco-roman temple unearthed in Egypt
Archeologists unearthed ruins dating back to second century BC and third century AD at a site in the Siwa Oasis and the border with Libya famed for being visited by Alexander the Great.
They discovered the Greco-roman remains of statues of a man and lions, according to the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry.
The ruins include stone walls and the temple’s main entrance, which leads to a courtyard and entrances to other chambers, thesun.co.uk reported.
Head archeologist Abdel-aziz al-demiri said artifacts uncovered include a sculpture of a man’s head and two limestone lions, as well as pottery, fragments and coins were also found at the site.
They were found at the Al-salam site — around 200 miles south of the Mediterranean Sea.
The excavation work continues and archeologist expect to find more temple remains later this year.
