Egypt uncovers Horus Temple remains
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery of remains of the Horus Temple and archaeological evidences from the era of King Ramses II at Tel Abu Saifi in Qantara East city, Ismailia Governorate. The findings include part of a massive stone entrance bearing its titles and inscriptions, as well as texts restoring the statue of Horus. Additionally, the excavations revealed storage rooms, service areas, a sanctum sanctorum, and paved stone roads connecting the site to Messenie, along with statues and fragments of artifacts from various periods. The excavations indicate that the temple was at its peak during the Ptolemaic era, before being repurposed as military barracks in the 3rd century AD, and later transformed into a lime kiln in the mid-Roman period. Minister Sherif Fathi confirmed that this discovery enhances the significance of the historical and cultural region and its role in protecting Egypt’s eastern borders, as well as helping to reimagine the history of the Horus War Road.
