Spanish team discovers antiquities of 1st intermediate period
Egypt State Information Service
A Spanish team conducting excavations in the Upper Egyptian city of Beni Sweif has stumbled upon antiquities that date back to the first intermediate Period (2190-2061 BC). This was in Ehansia, where the mission of Madrid's National Archeological Museum is working.
The Supreme Council of antiquities said that the team was digging inside a temple of a god, Heri Shef, when it came across a plate on which the different names of King Ramses II (1304-1237 BC) were engraved.
They also found a false door of an unknown tomb, burned tables and remains of human bones in bad shape. Two burial chambers were also discovered with two intact skeletons inside. Ehnasia was the capital of ancient Egypt during the 9th and 10th dynasties.
