Discoveries Uncover Military Life at Tell Al-Abqe'en
Excavations at Tell Al-Abqain in Beheira Governorate have revealed a residential complex, grain storage silos, ovens, and a ritual burial of a horse. This sheds light on military and daily life within one of the forts of the modern state on the western border of the Delta. The discoveries indicate a precise urban planning layout, with residential structures, grain silos, and cooking ovens, as well as evidence of the use of horses in military activities and training, including an organized burial of a young horse. Additionally, parts of ancient boards bearing hieratic and hieroglyphic texts of Egyptian kings were found, along with signs of religious deities' presence, as well as everyday tools and ceremonial items. This suggests that the site was a strategic center where military, economic, and religious activities intersected during the New Kingdom period.
