Siwa is an
important archeological area for the Egyptian archeologists and
not only. A recent mission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities
discovered in Siwa the footprints of something that could be a
prehistoric man who lived a million years back. If the results
of the investigations will show that, Siwa will enter in the
world of the big archeological discoveries. It seems that the
footprints were lived in a sandy mud that became dried while the
time was passing by. In Siwa there are other interesting
archeological areas that will be excavated: the palace zone that
borders the Oracle’s Temple in West, an underground passage that
services the palace’s needs of water from a holy fountain
situated nearby and a depression that it extends between the
fountain and the temple’s fore-court’s former pylon. A study of
feasibility regarding the stabilizing measures` extension to
other temple mound zones is ready to be submitted to the Supreme
Council of Antiquities. The project will begin as soon as the
necessary money will be assured. Recording the oracular complex
history of archeology and architecture defines more the original
plan of the oracular complex castle and sanctuaries as well as
the functions of the building regarding the oracular and
religious practices. Siwa is also an important archeological
area due to the fact that is the place where the Greek and the
Egyptian influences had their fusion. The Temple of the Oracle
is unique among the Egypt temples; it is the place when you can
imagine that you are on the Alexander the Great footsteps. A
very important part of the cultural heritage of the world, the
Temple of the Oracle, as well as the entire archeological area
of Siwa must be well preserved. |
