     Extractions: For several thousand years, the people who have lived in the land of Egypt have built marvelous architectural structures, orchestrated enchanting music and produced awe-inspiring works of art and literature. Culture, like language, varies over time according to the historical development in a country. To summarize we want to look briefly at the cultural achievements of Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic Egypt. None of these periods lived in complete isolation from the other or the rest of the world. Each has made its own unique contributions. We will limit our Odyssey today to architectural structures, which in some way embody the period's religious and political identity. The most impressive architectural structures in every society, are religious structures. Religious structures are built for eternity. Egypt is probably best known for the architectural achievements of the Egyptians in Pharaonic times. Two of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world were in Egypt. The way in which the pyramids were built still, in some ways, baffles researchers. The marvelous temples and shrines inspire both awe and humility. In confusion, we wonder how these things were built, as if to confess that our own society would be unable to do it. Desert monasteries are the best surviving evidence for early Coptic architecture. The monasteries are built with simple, available materials like mud or burnt bricks. Larger stones were used when available. The dome was a simple, and functional architectural development that made the best use of the available resources for spanning a roof across a structure when one lacked wood and stone. The dome is the most unique and individualized development in Coptic architecture. Sometimes more ornate stones and finely-worked pieces of marble were stone-robed from abandoned temples in the vicinity of the monastery. Monastic structures suffered from the environment, invasion and the effects of natural disaster. They frequently have confusing evidence of remodeling.

This site is based on what is considered more or less orthodox chronology, which of course means that there are other, deviant chronologies. On the whole I prefer the plodding examination of facts however few and poorly understood to the flights of fancy of some of the alternative historians. Chances are it gets us a bit closer to the truth, which, unless timetravel is invented, we will never know.

Recently a large granite sarcophagus was found in the innermost substructure of the tomb-chapel, and inscribed name "Mes" on the lid has been found. Three shaft tombs located around the tomb-chapel were excavated in Spring 1999 in order to clarify the character of this cemetery. The latest site plan has been available.
