The northwest coast of Egypt, rich in historical significance, was once home to numerous ancient Graeco-Roman settlements which were bustling centers of culture and commerce. Today, these sites lie in ruins, their stories buried beneath layers of time. This study aims to document and analyze those ancient sites through a combination of historical research and advanced geospatial technologies. By integrating data from ancient texts with contemporary digital tools, particularly Keyhole Markup Language (KML), this research endeavors to create an interactive and comprehensive geospatial database of the region. The study employs a systematic methodology encompassing the collection, analysis, and presentation of data. This approach ensures the preservation of the historical legacy of some of these ancient settlements, making it accessible for future research, educational purposes, and cultural preservation. The integration of historical texts with modern geospatial data provides a dynamic and engaging platform for exploring the past, thereby honoring the memory of these lost sites and contributing to the broader field of historical and archaeological research.
