The discovery sheds light on mysterious ancient temples, researchers said.
New York archaeologists have discovered an ancient Egyptian palace at the site of a royal temple, Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities announced Thursday.
Researchers also excavated the temple's cornerstones, which were decorated with similar royal symbols. These etchings, and the newly-discovered structure itself, will contribute to archaeologists' understanding of temples of this period, the Ministry reported. Ruins of the ancient city of Abydos lie roughly 300 miles south of Cairo, in low desert to the west of the Nile. The site is home to a royal necropolis where pharaohs from the earliest dynasties—such as Qaa from the first dynasty and Peribsen from the second—are thought to have been entombed, University College London reports.
Egypt has been keen to share news of recent archaeological discoveries in an effort to entice visitors back to the country in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and subsequent political unrest.
