In Luxor province in the south of Egypt, in the area of Deir el-Bahri rock, archaeologists have found part of the foundation of Hatshepsut's temple and a tomb from the Middle Kingdom era (2050-1710 BC). This was reported by Reuters on January 8, citing archaeologist Zahi Hawass.

"The mission discovered part of the foundation of Hatshepsut's temple, which was located in the vicinity of the valley and was the main entrance gate to the funerary temple," Hawass noted.

According to him, excavations have been underway since 2022. However, only now the foundation of the temple and artifacts in the form of ancient inscriptions, rock tombs, as well as ceramic sacrificial tables and coins with Alexander the Great and burials of the XVII dynasty have been found.

It is known about Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty that she died around 1458 BC and was the woman who ruled Egypt.

Earlier, on December 27, 2024, it became known that in the UK in the Anglo-Saxon cemetery in the countryside of Kent County was discovered a sword of the VI century. The weapon was in an excellent state of preservation.
