SAEDNEWS: Archaeologists Discover an Ancient City in Egypt
According to Saednews, The Giza pyramid complex is a group of ancient Egyptian pyramids located on the northern outskirts of present-day Cairo.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the pyramids in the Giza complex and the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramids date back to Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty and are known as the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Khufu’s pyramid is the largest and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Archaeologists excavating near Egypt’s pyramids have discovered an ancient city believed to have been designed and managed by sailors or military personnel. The city dates back approximately 4,500 years.
According to Mark Lehner, one of the project’s directors, construction of the city appears to date to the reign of Menkaure, an ancient Egyptian ruler who ruled between 2490 and 2473 BC.
Many of the findings suggest that Giza was once a thriving port.
Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of several buildings constructed with granite stones.
Some of these structures, known as galleries, measured approximately 7 meters in height and 34.5 meters in length, with each having the capacity to accommodate up to 40 people.
Researchers believe that the site may have belonged to military personnel.
During the excavations, they also discovered a broken rhinoceros-horn staff.
Mark Lehner, the research director, said that the researchers had been unable to locate the living quarters of the workers who worked at the site. They suspect that the workers may have lived together in one of these buildings.
In 2004, researchers had discovered objects such as ropes, hammers, pieces of wood, cattle bones, and fabric on the northern side of the pyramid.
This discovery could help researchers gain a better understanding of the Giza pyramids, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
