A complete pylon of a Ptolemaic temple called Batlmy, described as a ‘significant milestone’, has been found on the western side of the main temple in Sohag, an ancient and modern city along the fertile west bank of the Nile. The excavations were incidentally being conducted in the ancient city of Athribis, a cult centre for the worship of the god Min-Re, the lioness goddess wife Repyt, also his wife, and their son, the child-god Kolanthes.
This is a most unique discovery, which is why it is creating so much excitement in the archaeology community.
The joint Egyptian German archaeological mission, consisting of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and the German University of Tubingen, are led by Dr Mohamed Ismail Khaled, the supreme council’s Secretary General. He explained how this discovery paves the way for further excavation at the temple site, a large portion of which remains buried, according to a press release.
