The Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, located in Alexandria, Egypt, are a remarkable blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures from the 2nd century AD. Discovered in 1900, they served as a communal burial site and consist of three levels carved into rock, though the lowest is often submerged. A spiral staircase leads to chambers featuring sarcophagi, loculi (burial niches), and intricate carvings that merge Egyptian motifs with Greco-Roman styles. Key areas include the Rotunda and Triclinium, where feasts were held in honour of the dead. Known as “Mound of Shards” for the broken pottery left by mourners, the catacombs reflect Alexandria’s multicultural history and offer unique insights into ancient funerary practices.
