EN The article discusses research carried out using the magnetic method, in an area of necropolises located between Giza and the Fayum Oasis in Egypt. It describes the enormous progress which took place over the 40 years that have passed since the first magnetic research was conducted there. Progress was made in, among others, the methodology of measurements, processing and visual presentation of data. The method’s high efficiency in registering archaeological structures that are invisible on the surface, has been shown by discussing the results from research projects carried out in Giza, Abusir, Saqqara, Dahshur, El-Lahun and Hawara. The method’s effectiveness is based on the fact that Nile mud has magnetic properties, and it was used for the production of sun-dried bricks, which was the basic building material in Ancient Egypt. By registering hundreds of structures located beneath the surface, magnetic research not only allows to reconstruct the original layout of, for example, necropolises, but also provides archeologists with useful information for planning future excavations.
