The exhibition, promoted by the Ministry of Culture, tells a still little-known chapter of ancient history: the Roman presence in the oases of the Egyptian Western Desert between the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD. The initiative is part of the strategic guidelines promoted by the Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli, aimed at combining scientific research, technological innovation, and the enhancement of cultural heritage. A vision that identifies culture as a fundamental tool for dialogue and shared knowledge, capable of strengthening relations between peoples, enhancing a common historical heritage, and fostering new opportunities for international cooperation, especially in the Mediterranean and Africa. Thanks to the essential contribution of the archaeologists involved in the Greco-Roman excavations in Egypt, carried out with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, AEGYPTUS is configured as a major immersive and cross-media installation that transforms the visit into a sensory and narrative experience. Video art, digital reconstructions, images of archaeological excavations, animations, and artificial intelligence accompany the public in discovering the landscape of the oases and the Roman desert, making the story of contemporary archaeological research accessible and engaging.
