Archaeologists recently discovered an ancient 2,200-year-old temple linked to Pharaoh Ptolemy IV in Egypt.
Ruins of the temple were unearthed at a sewage drainage project site in Kom Shakau village in Tama township in early September, Ahram Online reported. Stone inscriptions showing Ptolemy IV’s name, along with pictures of a god, birds, and other types of animals, were found in the old structure, Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities said in a Facebook post.
“The mission began its work in the south of the wall discovered during the sanitation project, and on one side street, the mission revealed the South-West corner of the temple and the rest of the wall from north to The South, with the remains of repeated views of the Ipod, carrying the sacrifice of many different animals and birds and in front of him the remains of texts containing the name of King Ptolemy IV,” the Ministry of Antiquities said. “In the middle, the mission also found the remains of another stone wall, heading west and covering its floor with Jerry Stone tiles.”
Construction work was stopped in the area, so archaeologists can continue to explore the historic site.
Egypt is engaging in many excavations lately: An ancient cemetery near the Giza pyramids was uncovered by archaeologists in May, while another project unearthed the remains of a high priest earlier this year, Fox News reported.
