Archaeologists have uncovered military barracks and warehouses dating back 3000 years in Beheira, Egypt. This discovery reveals traces of a warrior army from the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II (1279-1213 BC). These structures, made of mud bricks, consist of two identical groups separated by a narrow corridor. The carvings inside depict the achievements of the soldiers who fought for Ramses II. Additionally, a bronze sword bearing the emblem of Great Ramses was also found. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, stated that these barracks were an important military base for protecting Egypt's northwest borders. The excavations also yielded carved artifacts belonging to the Egyptian gods Amon and Ptah, as well as pomegranate-patterned necklaces and rings. It was understood that some sections of the barracks were used to provide food and daily necessities for the soldiers. Meanwhile, the construction of the world's largest museum is underway in Giza. This 90,000-square-meter museum will showcase over 100,000 ancient artifacts, including treasures unearthed from the tomb of King Tutankhamun. Many of these artifacts will be exhibited here for the first time. In addition, a 2-kilometer-long pedestrian path connecting tourists to the Giza pyramids will be located near the museum.
