Border guards on Sunday discovered four artefacts in the Nile at the
fishing port of Ezbet El-Burg, Damietta in the northern Delta.
Ahmed Al-Rawi, the head of the Central Administration for
Archaeological Offices in Ports, told Ahram Online that the artefacts
were submerged in the Nile and were found on the surface of the port.
According to law 117 of 1983 and its amendment in 2010, the artefacts
are Egyptian property and have to be handed over to the Ministry of
Antiquities.

Al-Rawi said that the artefacts discovered include two Graeco-Roman

the shape of a flower. The fourth object is a Byzantine clay plate
covered with a green glaze layer.
