Recently, a new Polish-Egyptian Archaeological and Preservation Mission has come into being. It operates in central Egypt in Asmunein — the ancient Hermopolis Magna. The monuments surviving in the town are in very bad condition and must be preserved without delay. In Ashmunein the high level of the water table causes salty water suction by limestone and salt crystallization, which results in the destruction of stone monuments. The mission began its work with a 5th century A.D. basilica, one of Egypt's biggest. Its foundations were built of reused blocks from dismantled Hellenistic buildings. The high artistic quality of the Hellenistic elements led to the dismantling of the basilica remains during the archaeological excavations carried on in the 1940 s. Currently, investigation of the basilica is being carried out and documentation is being prepared for the technical draft of its restoration. During the conservation work, Polish specialists are also carrying out lab analyses.
