In the southwestern Turkey, a engraving marble panel found in the ancient site of Siglasos, which contains a unique example of Egyptian religious painting, was not found outside Egypt before. It was found in a bathroom in the Roman era, not no temple, and there is no evidence that the Egyptian gods were worshiped in Siglasos. It seems that they are fully used for decorative purposes.
Perhaps in the Augustus era, the spanix god Tutu is shown on the lint of a door in relief. On top of it is Falcon God Horse. On the left of it, the crocodile is God. Each section of the door has statistics wearing upper and lower Egyptian crowns. They are a symbol of patronage of Tutu all over Egypt, while Horses represents the royal authority and stops the Nile’s power.
In 2004, the plaque was first discovered in the Northern Fregidarium of the bath. Archaeologists re -reviewed them last year.
Professor Peter Tilin, the head of the excavation director and head of the Bulkant University Archeology Department, officially told the Run Anidolo Agency (AA) that during the Roman era, Sigalosos established contacts with Egypt through commercial routes. […]
Telin said the segulic residents recovered ceramics, alcohol and agricultural products to Egypt, bringing back fish species and cultural effects in Anatolia. He emphasized that the marble slab with Tutu’s statistics stands as a rare example of Egyptian influence in Anatolia. […]
Telin said he inspected the marble slab and decided that he belonged to the opium, adding that it was clearly determined that the marble slab did not come from Egypt.
