Detailed field: History | Source text - English
Kharga used to be the last but one stop on The Forty Days Road, the infamous slave-trade route between North Africa and the tropical south. Today, it is the biggest New Valley oasis and its modern city houses 60,000 people, including 1,000 Nubians who moved here after the creation of lake Nasser. Outside the main center is the Temple of Hibis, built on the site of an 18th dynasty settlement of Saites, Persians and Ptolemies One of the few Persian monuments in Egypt, the 6th century BC temple is well-preserved with painted vultures and huge reliefs of Darius greeting Egyptian gods on the outer walls. Ten kilometers away, the Necropolis of al-Bagawat contains 263 mud-brick chapels with Coptic murals, including the Chapel of Peace with images of Adam and Eve and the Ark on its dome and the Chapel of the Exodus with frescoes of pharaonic troops pursuing the Jews led by Moses, out of Egypt. Pharaonic monuments include the al-Hhuwaytah Temple which dates from 522 BC and the Temple of Amenebis | Translation - Arabic
إن الخارجة كانت المحطة الأخيرة والوحيدة على درب الأربعين، الطريق الشهير لتجارة العبيد بين شمال إفريقيا والجنوب الاستوائي. اليوم، هي أكبر واحة في الوادي الجديد ومدينتها الحديثة يسكن بها 60.000 شخص، بما في ذلك 1.000 نوبي انتقلوا إلى هناك بعد تكوين بحيرة ناصر. وخارج المركز الرئيسي يوجد معبد هيبيس، الذي بني على موقع مستوطنة للأسرة الثامنة عشر للصاويين والفرس والبطالمة. وهي إحدى الآثار الفارسية القليلة في مصر. المعبد من القرن السادس قبل الميلاد وهو في حالة جيدة وعليه رسوم لعقبان ونقوش بارزة هائلة الحجم للملك دارا وهو يحيي الآلهة المصرية على الجدران الخارجية. على بعد 10 كيلومترات، تحتوي مقابر البجوات على 263 مزارا (هيكلا) من الطوب اللبن عليها جداريات قبطية، بما في ذلك مزار السلام حيث توجد صور لآدم وحواء وفلك نوح على قبته، ومزار الخروج فيه نماذج جصية للقوات الفرعونية وهي تلاحق اليهود بقيادة موسى خارج مصر. وتشمل الآثار الفرعونية معبد الغويطة الذي يعود إلى عام 522 قبل الميلاد ومعبد قصر الزيان (عين بس). |
