Port Said uncovering ancient bath complex
The archaeological expedition affiliated with the Supreme Council of Antiquities has uncovered an integrated complex of bathing facilities dating back to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods at Tel Nasser site in the Port Said archaeological area, for the first time in the site's history. Studies show that the complex extends across multiple historical phases, with the earliest dating to the late 4th and early 3rd centuries BCE, accompanied by evidence of earlier settlement before that, followed by continuous use during the Ptolemaic and Roman eras until the 2nd century CE. The complex features two bathing units—one private and one public—and contains advanced hydraulic systems including a bathing room, basins, and water supply and drainage channels, along with remains of residential walls and multiple archaeological layers, indicating the site's sustained functional importance over time. The discovery holds significant importance for understanding the development of architecture and public services in the eastern Nile Delta. It represents an important scientific addition that confirms the archaeological value of the Port Said area and calls for further research and excavation.
