Sohag Unearths New Pharaonic Find
Remains of a temple dedicated to the god Horus and artifacts from the era of Pharaoh Ramses II have been uncovered at Tal Abu Saifi in the city of Qantara East, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt. The discoveries indicate the presence of a massive stone gateway, three service chambers, and a design that connects different historical periods. The temple dates back to the Ptolemaic era and was active before being repurposed as military barracks in the 3rd century AD, then as a limestone quarry during the Roman period. Excavations also revealed stone roads from the Ptolemaic and Roman eras, confirming that the site held strategic and cultural importance, playing a significant role in protecting Egypt's eastern borders.
