Archaeologists have discovered 5,000-year-old rock art in the Sinai Desert that depicts ancient Egypt's brutal conquest of the region. The artwork "shows in a terrifying manner how the Egyptians colonized the Sinai and subjugated the inhabitants," the archaeologists said in a statement . The 5,000-year-old rock art reads "God Min, ruler of copper region." The rock art was discovered by Mustafa Nour El-Din, an archaeologist with the Aswan Inspectorate at the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, during a survey conducted in 2025. The archaeologists believe that more rock art remains to be discovered nearby.
