Summary

Description

English: Kom el-Dikka, which literally means a “pile of rubble,” was a slum until 1959 when a team of Poles excavated the site in search of the tomb of Alexander the Great. With 800 marble seats, graffiti of chariot team supporters, and two forecourts with mosaic flooring, the discovery was not a disappointment.

العربية: حتى عام 1959، كانت كوم الدكة حي فقير، الى أن وصل اليها فريق بولندي للتنقيب في الموقع بحثًا عن مقبرة الإسكندر الأكبر. ولم يخب أمل المنقِبين عندما تم اكتشاف 800 مقعد رخامي ونقوش تصوِّر مشجعين لسباقات المركبات الحربية وساحات ذات أرضية مطرزة بالفسيفساء.
