Athribis, Archaeological site and temple ruins in Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt
The excavation site contains several temples, including a Ptolemaic sanctuary with 26 columns and a rock temple featuring carved halls dedicated to Ascalpius.
William Flinders Petrie conducted major archaeological excavations from 1906 to 1907, followed by Egyptian Antiquities Authority and Egyptian-German missions through 2012.
The temple walls display intricate carvings depicting processions of gods carrying vases shaped like hawk heads with sun disks on their peaks.
The archaeological area spans across 30 hectares and includes an open museum exhibiting stone blocks, temple facade fragments, and decorated doorsteps.
The site features remnants of a 5th century Coptic Basilica Church with three corridors divided by columns, identified through pottery analysis.
