Egypt May Have Discovered Lost City of Masn
An Egyptian archaeological mission at Tell Abu Sifi in Ismailia Governorate has uncovered new historical evidence supporting the hypothesis linking the site to the ancient city of "Mesen," mentioned in historical texts during the New Kingdom era. Among the most significant discoveries is a massive sandstone block from the reign of Ramses II, bearing inscriptions that detail his titles, as well as a text confirming the restoration of the Hathor statue, which is considered a key indicator of the city's presence at the site. The excavations also revealed sections of an external mudbrick wall dating to multiple phases, as well as stone roads from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, demonstrating the site's continued use across different eras. This discovery suggests that the site may be the lost city of "Mesen," a long-standing mystery. Ongoing research is underway to definitively resolve the issue based on the continued findings.
