Minshat Abu Omar, Archaeological site and cemetery from the Late Roman Era in Upper Egypt, Egypt
The excavated burial grounds at Minshat Abu Omar contain 420 tombs from the Naqada III period and 2630 tombs from later periods.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1966 revealed multiple burial chambers with oval structures measuring 1.5 meters deep, containing individuals in fetal positions.
The tombs contained numerous artifacts including stone bowls, vases, cosmetic palettes, and jewelry made from carnelian and amethyst beads.
The archaeological site stands 93 miles northeast of Cairo in the Al Sharqia Governorate, accessible through guided tours from the Egyptian capital.
The cemetery exhibits an architectural evolution from oval structures to rectangular chambers with mud-plastered walls and reed mat flooring.
