Archaeologists working at the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis have uncovered a residential complex and a collection of artefacts near the Temple of Sekhmet in Mit Rahina, Giza. An Egyptian-Chinese archaeological mission discovered the site during excavations on August 30, according to Egypt’s State Information Service. Among the findings is a limestone structure that researchers believe may have been used as a wine press, while grape seeds recovered from the area further support this identification. The team also found stone blocks with inscriptions, fragments of statues, and other architectural remains. The discoveries offer a glimpse into activity around one of Memphis’s temple areas and add new evidence to the archaeological picture of the ancient city.
