An apparent record-breaking ancient astronomy "observatory," complete with a sundial, was uncovered recently during a temple dig in the old capital of lower Egypt.
The mud-brick temple building was found in a larger complex known now as the Temple of Buto, but which was named after Wadjet during the sixth century BCE, from which it dates. (Buto is a later Greek name for the ancient Egyptian Wadjet, according to the Wiley Online Library, and "Wadjet" has various spelling variations in English.)
