New Archeological Discoveries

The biggest archaeological discovery of the past five decades was uncovered south of Cairo, a 4500-year-old temple, that is believed to be one of Egypt’s six lost “Temples of The Sun”.

Egypt Temple of the Sun

Egyptian Pharaohs are thought to have built six sun temples. While pyramids were built to preserve a pharaoh’s standing as a heavenly entity in the afterlife, sun temples acted as their shrine and were much smaller in scale.

This Sun Temple is an extremely rare find, being the third ever discovered and the first unearthed in the last five decades. The recent temple is considered to have been erected between 2400 and 2370 BCE, dedicated to Sun God ‘Ra.
