3,000-Year-Old Child Footprints Found at Site of Ancient Egyptian Palace

Mysterious, 3,000-year-old footprints of ancient Egyptian children have emerged alongside rare painting fragments, at what appears to be the site of a royal palace or temple. The prints were uncovered at the remains of a large building in the fabled Pi-Ramesse, a city which was Egypt's capital during the reign of the King Ramses II.

Mahmoud Afifi, head of the Ancient Egyptian Antiquities department, described the building complex as "truly monumental." It is likely to be a temple or a palace," he said.

At the bottom of the pit, a layer of mortar was still present, etched with the small prints.
