Message from Nicole Carter

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa in Alexandria, Egypt, are a fascinating archaeological site that blends Roman, Greek, and Egyptian influences. Dating back to the 2nd century, these catacombs were accidentally discovered in 1900 when a donkey fell into an access shaft. The site features three levels cut into solid rock, with a central tomb chamber adorned with intricate carvings and sarcophagi. Visitors can explore the Hall of Caracalla, where the bones of horses were found, adding to the mysterious allure of this ancient burial site.
