statuette Buddha was discovered at archaeological sites near the Red Sea, which indicates the existence of trade links between The Roman Empire And IndiaThis was announced on Thursday by the Ministry of Antiquities.
American and Polish archaeologists discovered this figurine in Berenicean old port city to the southeast, he said.
The statuette, measuring 71 centimeters, dates from the Roman era and represents Buddha wearing a cloak devoid of right limbs and with a halo around his head, in reference to the sun’s rays, according to a photograph released by the ministry.
Egypt was then “in the center of the trade route connecting The Roman Empire with many regions of the ancient world,” explained Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the High Council of Antiquities.
Ships arrived mostly from India, loaded with spices, ornaments, textiles or ivory.
historical significance
Egypt regularly announces archaeological discoveries, but some experts often consider them more of a tourism promotion tool than of historical interest.
The country is trying to rebuild its tourism sector, which was hit hard by political instability after the 2011 revolution, then by the health crisis caused by COVID-19, and finally by the war between Ukraine and Russia, two countries that provide tourists for Egypt. (AFP)
