Archaeologists recently unearthed two churches in Egypt that are over 1,500 years old, offering rare evidence of Christianity’s rise in the country’s Western Desert.
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery in a press release in late July. The churches were found at Kharga Oasis, an ancient settlement roughly 350 miles southwest of Cairo.
