Lost city discovered beneath Egypt's desert with ancient church

anyone else immediately reminded of this lovecraft tale? https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/nc.aspx

A Byzantine lost city around the year 400 CE.

I wish I could go back in time and visit to see what it was like.

this is amazing. I am ancient egypt nerd but sucks that egypt is in egypt. I got scammed last time i went there and ppl were rude and agrresive.

The Ancient Architects video on YouTube has a quite good summary of the history of this site.

... Do we have a better source than Daily Mail?
