Not singling you out, all the articles do it, but: Strange to call this Byzantine. The coins found are from the reign of Constantius II, who at times ruled the whole empire alone (as did his successor Julian). The idea that the East, even when administered separately, was some foreign&#x2F;&quot;Byzantine&quot;&#x2F;not-really-Roman &quot;other&quot; was invented much later.

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.

&gt;This is the only place in the world where I can say this about.Really dude? About India? South America in general, especially Brazil?I traveled a lot and I love everywhere, everyone and everything buy there are some places that scam 24&#x2F;7.

The bad things are all true. Scamming people is their default. You can’t trust anyone you haven’t paid.

I haven&#x27;t been to Egypt and I&#x27;ve heard nothing but bad things from multiple sources. This is the only place in the world where I can say this about. It&#x27;s really disappointing, as I&#x27;d love to see some of the history there.

Yeah. Unfortunately, that’s true of almost any place that is overcrowded to that extent. Their stagnant economy doesn’t help.

Best way not to get scammed is to hire a tour guide. Best care. Best everything. They will tell you what to watch for. If you love Egyptology like others do, you are going to be in the targeted category for advertisement, souvenirs, and scams.

Sonny from the &quot;Best Ever Food Review Show&quot; had a similar experience to op. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8LzuZrkEY18" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=8LzuZrkEY18</a>

can you tell a bit more about how you got scammed? I was in Cairo twice for business and our hosts organized nice trips through the historic sites and new museum. I intend to go there with my family one day

You&#x27;re not allowed to notice things.

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