Massive 3,500-Year-Old Fortress Unearthed in Sinai, Egypt
Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered a massive New Kingdom fortress in North Sinai, revealing advanced military planning.
The discovery was made by an Egyptian archaeological mission at Tell el-Kharouba, in the Sheikh Zuweid area of North Sinai, and is considered one of the largest and most important fortifications ever found along the ancient Horus military road near the Mediterranean coast.
Researchers say the fortress provides valuable insight into Egypt’s sophisticated defense system, which protected its eastern borders and controlled vital trade and military routes connecting Egypt with Palestine.
The site offers a rare glimpse into the military planning of the New Kingdom, during which pharaohs constructed a network of fortresses across Sinai to secure the frontier and prevent invasions.
