The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has discovered the remains of an archaeological building in the North Sinai region, dating back to the reign of King Thutmose III of the 18th dynasty in the New Kingdom.
According to a statement issued by the ministry, the Egyptian archaeological mission succeeded in uncovering this important edifice during excavations at the archaeological site of Tell Haboua (Tharo), within the Sinai Development Project.
The statement explains that the archaeological building was built of mud bricks and appears to have been part of rest houses or royal palaces in the area.
Two consecutive rectangular halls were discovered in the building, as well as several other rooms and halls attached to it, with a main gate from the north leading to the first hall.
According to preliminary analyses, this building dates back to the era when King Thutmose III ruled and is believed to have been used as a royal rest due to its sophisticated architectural layout and the scarcity of pottery fragments inside.
The Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Egyptian Antiquities, Mohamed Khaled, expressed the importance of this discovery, which sheds light on new aspects of Egypt’s military history during the New Kingdom, especially in the Sinai region.
