Archaeological Find Reveals Fort Life at Tell al-Abuqayn
The Egyptian archaeological expedition at Tell Al-Abquain in Beheira Governorate has discovered a collection of structures and finds that highlight military and daily life within one of the forts of the New Kingdom on the western border of the Delta, aimed at protecting Egypt from Libyan tribal attacks. The discoveries include residential complexes, grain storages, wells, and tools for storing and preparing food, as well as the burial of a small horse, likely a sacrificial offering. Additionally, limestone tablets bearing hieroglyphic and hieratic inscriptions link the site to ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and various religious artifacts and mummies of a family and major deities were found, reflecting the site's military, religious, and social aspects. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of the ancient Egyptian fortification system and its role in border protection, providing detailed insights into the lives of soldiers and communities within the fort.
