Discovery of 3,500-year-old Egyptian Military Fortress
A 3,500-year-old Egyptian fortress has been discovered in the north Sinai Desert, featuring a zigzag-style wall and remarkably preserved remnants of ovens and fossilized dough.
Located on an ancient military road near the Mediterranean coast, the fort spans approximately 2 acres (0.8 hectares) and is believed to have been built during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose I (circa 1504 to 1492 B.C.).
According to the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Thutmose I's expansion of Egypt's empire into modern-day Syria may explain the fortress' strategic location.
The fort is remarkably well preserved, and even has the remnants of ovens and a hunk of fossilized dough that the fortress' soldiers never got a chance to eat.
