An Egyptian archeological mission operating in Mit Rahina announced the discovery of a huge archaeological building in the Hoad al-Demerdash area, about 400 meters north of the Mit Rahina museum in Giza.

The size of the building is 17 meters x 14.5 meters, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa al-Waziry said.

It is most likely part of a residential area, he added. The building is made of bricks supported by massive limestone block, with its foundations, external walls and inner staircase constructed using red bricks, he added.

Head of the Central Department of the Antiquities of Cairo and Giza Adel Okasha said that another smaller building was found southwest of the larger discovery. The small building consists of a Roman bathroom and another room likely used for religious rituals.

A holder for limestone pots decorated with the head of the ancient Egyptian god Bes was found in the room. Special purification basins and small limestone columns were also discovered, according to Okasha.
