Archeologists discovered one of the six missing sun temples in Egypt, and it dates back to the mid-25th century BCE, reports revealed on Wednesday.
Daily Mail said; “Archeologists have discovered the temple while excavating under the remains of the sun temple in Abu Gorab, north of Abusir in Giza."
The missing sun temple is the most important discovery over the half century, as it is the third rare ancient temple ever found.
It is also the first temple the archeologists discovered in 50 years. These temples were built for pharaohs while they were still alive, to grant rulers a place like a god. On the other hand, the Pyramids also guaranteed that they were gods in the afterlife.
“The discoveries include engraved seals with rulers’ names, which in the past were used as pot covers, moreover, there were two bases of limestone columns; they were a part of the entrance hall, and a limestone threshold,” Massimiliano Nuzzolo,” the director expedition said in CNN statements.
Nuzzolo demonstrated that the original structure wholly was made in mudbrick. His expedition team also discovered while excavating, tens of intact pottery jars, which were used in beer storing. He noted that the mudbrick base’s size was “immense.”
