Dig That: Ancient Egypt Shrine And Statue Fragments Found At City That Housed Cleopatra’s Needle

Archaeologists researching the ancient temple city of Heliopolis have made remarkable discoveries documenting intense temple construction activities in Ancient Egypt.

Heliopolis – which means the City of the Sun – was one of the oldest cities of Ancient Egypt. It was occupied since the Predynastic Period, which spans the period from the earliest human settlement to the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period around 3100 BC.
