Mohamed Abd El-Maksoud et al., « La fouille du Boubasteion d’Alexandrie : présentation préliminaire », Publications du Centre Camille Jullian, ID : 10.4000/books.pccj.1387
Rescue excavations conducted in 2009-2010 by the Supreme Council of antiquities under the supervision of Dr. Abd El Maksoud, have produced surprising results of great importance by revealing the existence of a sanctuary dedicated to Boubastis and by underlining the popularity of this goddess in Alexandria over the long term (from the first wave of immigration to the Roman period). Prior to this discovery, no-one had supposed the existence of a sanctuary dedicated to Boubastis in Alexandria. Furthermore, the offerings to the goddess shed new light on the population of Alexandria at the beginning of its existence.
