The article presents the results of archaeological excavations in two locations where geophysical surveys were carried out for the first time on Polish excavations in Egypt: Tell Atrib (ancient Athribis in Lower Egypt) and Saqqara (west of the pyramid of Djoser). It emphasizes the interdependence of archaeological and geophysical research. Particularly interesting were the results of three geophysical surveys made in Saqqara in 1987, 1997 and 2012 by three different teams using different methods. All of them helped identifying archaeological structures in two subsequent layers corresponding to two periods: a) Old Kingdom (lower stratum) with rock-hewn tombs of high officials; b) Ptolemaic Period with hundreds of burials found in a layer of sand (upper stratum).
