Kom El-Shuqafa catacombs
http://touregypt.net/teblog/alexandrianews/
Travel guide Zahraa Adel Awed has updated his Alexandria News blog with a short introduction to the catacombs, and has provided links to a three part article about them which have some excellent plans, diagrams and photographs: "The catacombs of Kom El-Shuqafa which date from the second century A.D. are unique both for their plan and for their decoration which is a mixture of Egyptian and Greco-Roman elements. Excavation in the site started in 1892 but catacombs were not found until 1900 when by mere chance the falling of donkey drawing a cart in a pit led to their discovery of Kom El-Shuqafa which date from the second century A.D."
