Archaeologists have discovered a 1,700-year-old pyramid-shaped tomb in Egypt’s Western Desert containing rare Greek poetry and Egyptian religious inscriptions.

The tomb belonged to an influential man named Bisichthes, who was likely a judge living during the late third or early fourth century AD.

A 19-line Greek mourning poem praises Bisichthes for his wisdom, with his son Sarapion addressing him and asking him to accept offerings from his grieving children.

The tomb also contains Egyptian hieroglyphs, protective spells, artwork depicting the sun god Ra’s journey through the underworld, pottery and a bronze coin featuring Roman Emperor Constantine, the Independent has reported.

The combination of Greek, Egyptian and Roman elements provides archaeologists with new information about the region’s multicultural religious and funerary traditions during Roman rule.
