| Abstract | ||||
| This study aims to identify the ancient Church of The Holy Virgin Mary and St. George Church in EL-Ghanayem , which was not published before. It is located in the EL-Ghanayem, Assiut Governorate.. Unfortunately, despite all ancientness of this church, it was not mentioned in the ancient books of history. It is noted that the church has a strange outline as it contains 27 domes, which is not common in the construction of churches. Despite it shows one of the rare outlines in the construction of churches, it is similar to other churches of the monasteries of Egypt in its antiquity and the sense of spirituality for the worshiper. It is distinguished by its high and wide wall as well as its simple designed minaret. It is said that they were two adjacent churches. This study records the architectural outline of the church and its horizontal and vertical projections, which is published for the first time in this research. | ||||
