Egypt announced on Thursday that archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a temple dating back to the reign of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius in the second century.
The Antiquities Ministry said that the temple was found near the western desert's Siwa Oasis, 350 kilometers from the so-called Gebel al-Mawta.
The temple includes the foundations of a large limestone building.
Abdel-Aziz al-Dimeiry, head of the archaeological mission, said they found a five-meter-long limestone painting bearing Greek inscriptions and decorated with the sun disc surrounded by cobras.
He said the painting, which is believed to be part of the temple's entrance, was found in good condition and will undergo restoration.
