Siwa Oasis


Siwa Oasis beauty


 The mixed legends and ritual stories coincide with feasts and celebrations, creating an Egyptian legend called the Siwa Oasis.


 The oasis is located in the heart of the Egyptian desert, and it is marked by many legends that bring a special magic to this picturesque area.


 The most famous of these myths is the story of the people of the oasis, and it revolves around a long history linking Jabal Dakrour, the Temple of Revelation and the Mountain of the Dead through an underground tunnel.


 Egypt has a variety of mountains and they are considered archeological, even though they were made by God.  Because of the beauty in it, it has become a popular tourist attraction, most notably the "Mountain of the Dead" that the Siwa people found during World War II in 1944 to hide and discover the cemeteries inside it.


 The Mountain of the Dead is one of the most famous shrines in Siwa.  It is not a true geographical mountain, but a high plateau with a rocky cone in the middle.


 The Mountain of the Dead contains thousands of tombs carved over the rocks.  The tombs are round in the shape of a beehive.  It is one of the most beautiful and strangest archaeological sites in Egypt.  It is one of the wonders of Siwa Oasis.


 An ancient cemetery is located to the north of the Shali fortress and is 50 meters high, the cemetery adds a lot to ancient Egyptian and Greek art.  The tombs are located in the depths of the mountain, and each graveyard ends in a rectangular square.  The square is divided into a group of pits designated for placing the dead, and inside them are beautiful and dense graves.  The most famous cemetery in this area is the Simon Tomb, which contains a group of bas-reliefs.




 The crocodile tomb in siwa 


is named after the inscription on it.  It is a yellow crocodile shape.  The cemetery is a three-room building.  The owner of this cemetery has not yet been determined.
