Ancient tombs and settlement found in Nile Delta

Archaeological excavations in the Kom Al-Khooljan area of Dakahlia Governorate in the Egyptian Delta have uncovered a cemetery dating back to the Pre-dynastic era, spanning various civilizations. This includes the Lower Egyptian civilization (the First and Second Bubastis periods) from the first half of the early fourth millennium BC, extending through the Second Intermediate Period and into the era of the modern state. The discoveries involved simple tombs containing pottery vessels and shells, indicating a diversity of burial rituals. In addition, a residential area was uncovered, featuring mudbrick buildings, granaries, grains, and structures with winding walls dating from the Middle Kingdom up to the modern era. Analysis also revealed tombs dating to the 15th through 17th dynasties, reflecting settlement during the Hyksos period. The site’s findings emphasize its significance for studying the development of residential and funerary life in the eastern Delta over thousands of years.
