Wadi Maghareh : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wadi Maghareh Wadi Maghareh (also spelled Maghara or Magharah), meaning "The Valley of Caves" in the Egyptian Arabic, is an Egyptian archaeological site in the southwestern Sinai Peninsula. It contains pharaonic monuments and turquoise mines from the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms of Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians knew the site as "the Terraces of Turquoise."〔G. D. Mumford: "''Wadi Maghara''", in Kathryn A. Bard and Steven Blake Shubert, eds. ''Encyclopedia of the Archeology of Ancient Egypt''(New York: Routledge, 1999), p. 875-876.〕 ==History== The site was rediscovered in 1809 by Ulrich Jasper Seetzen, and since then has seen several excavation teams, Richard Lepsius's excavation in 1845 being the first. Major C. K. McDonald's visits to the site, including residence at the site from 1854-1866 (and an effort to mine turquoise there) resulted in only surface finds (arrowheads and such) with no further excavation;〔〔John D. Cooney, "Major Macdonald, a Victorian Romantic," ''The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology'', Vol. 58, (Aug., 1972), p. 281.〕 a British Ordnance Survey of the site was made in 1868-1869, a Harvard University expedition in 1932, and several Israeli excavations between 1967 and 1982, among others.〔
