The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery of the remains of a pillared hall at the Temple Buto in the Central Delta region, and a number of religious pottery vessels dating back to el-Sawy era.
CAIRO — The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has recently announced the success of the Egyptian archaeological mission working in the Temple of Tel el-Farain city (Hill of the Pharaohs) — also known by its ancient name of Buto — in Kafr el-Sheikh governorate in the central Nile Delta region, in discovering the remains of a pillared hall at the temple.
In a Nov. 16 statement, the ministry said that the Egyptian archaeological mission “also uncovered a limestone panel representing a deity with a bird's head topped by a white crown surrounded by two feathers, and it is possible that it represents the deity Nakhbet or the deity Mutt.”
