Still Waters Posted April 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Archaeologists excavating an ancient temple site in Cairo have discovered part of a chapel used by a pharaoh about 2,300 years ago, Egypt's antiquities ministry said on Tuesday. The discovery was made at a site in the ancient Pharaonic capital of Heliopolis, today a sprawl of working and middle class districts in Cairo. The chapel was built by King Nectanebo I, a king in the 30th dynasty that ruled from 380 to 340 BC between two Persian invasions of ancient Egypt. http://phys.org/news...aoh-chapel.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalmoxis Posted April 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm not much into learning a lot of ancient history but the artifacts and buildings they left behind are fascinating. Thanks for the link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
