A thrilling new discovery in Egypt has unveiled the remnants of a once-vital military fortress used to defend the shores from attackers such as the ‘sea people’ and dating back to the New Kingdom era. Archaeologists have unearthed ancient military barracks, weapons storage units, and personal artifacts belonging to soldiers, offering a rare glimpse into the daily life and military operations of ancient Egyptian forces. Among the most remarkable finds is a beautifully crafted bronze sword inscribed with the cartouche of King Ramses the Great. The Strategic Importance of Tell Al-Abqain Reported by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the mission, led by Dr. Ahmed Said El-Kharadly, uncovered a series of mudbrick structures that served as military barracks for soldiers, alongside storerooms for weapons, food, and other supplies. According to Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, this discovery underscores the military importance of Tell Al-Abqain, located in Egypt’s coastal Bahira Governorate, which functioned as a crucial Egyptian military outpost. Situated along the western military road, the fort protected Egypt's northwestern borders from potential invasions by Libyan tribes and the Sea Peoples, both of which posed serious threats during the New Kingdom.
