Archaeological Find at Tel Al-Abqain
A new archaeological discovery at Tel Abqyeen in Beheira Governorate sheds light on military and civilian life within the ancient Egyptian forts along the western borders of the Nile Delta during the New Kingdom era. Excavations revealed residential structures, storage facilities, and artifacts that reflect the site’s infrastructure, as well as evidence indicating that it served as a vital defensive center. The site features precise architectural organization, including residential complexes, grain silos, and food preparation ovens, alongside remnants of tools with military and religious significance—such as amulet fragments and inscriptions bearing the names of kings and gods—demonstrating religious interactions and spiritual protection for the inhabitants. Additionally, a burial of a small male horse was uncovered, possibly as an offering or tribute, accompanied by military decorations and hieratic inscriptions referencing Pharaoh Merneptah and Ramses II. Scenes depicting Libyan captives were also found, highlighting the site’s role as a comprehensive, advanced defensive system of strategic importance. The excavation team continues their work to uncover further historical and military elements of the site.
