Ancient fortress at Lake reveals residential and storage facilities
The Egyptian archaeological expedition at Tell Abykain in Beheira Governorate has uncovered structures and artifacts that shed light on military life, daily activities, and the planning of ancient Egyptian fortresses on the western borders of the Delta during the New Kingdom period. A large mudbrick residential complex was found, featuring a main street and secondary roads, with rooms containing grain storage jars and ceramic ovens, reflecting resource management and economic activity of the inhabitants. Additionally, a young horse burial was uncovered, believed to have been used for military purposes or training, along with parts of Arabic military decorative motifs, confirming the site's military nature. The discoveries included hieratical and hieroglyphic inscriptions of kings carved on panels, as well as religious amulets and everyday tools, illustrating the intertwining of military, religious, and social life within the community living inside the fortress to defend Egypt’s western borders during that era. Excavations are ongoing to reveal more historical and archaeological details of the site.
