It is possible that the ancient city recently discovered in Egypt has been constructed during the reign of the First Dynasty. According to the Antiquities Ministry, the 7,000-year old landmark, which included both a capital and a cemetery, is situated in the southern province of Sohag.
Considering that the nation by the Nile is having difficulties boosting its economy, the historical structure can be vital in jumpstarting Egypt's tourism business. It is no secret that the country's travel and leisure department had lagged behind since the West-leaning President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.
Still, the likelihood of resurrecting Egypt's tourism service is possible especially with an incredible architecture similar to what has been found lately.
It is believed that the discovered metropolis may have been home to people of noble standing. It is likely that ranking officials occupied the place. Taking cue on the designs of the burial chambers or mausoleums, individuals affiliated with the area belong to a clan or circle with prominent status.
The Ministry says that this archaic city's revelation can lead to something bigger. It is possible that more primeval views will be excavated on Abydos which is one of Egypt's oldest capitals. Archaeologists think that the place held power not only during the pre-dynasty era but also during the first four dynasties.
Investigations have shown that the ancient metropolis exhumed around 400 meters away from the temple of Seti I which has been identified as a New Kingdom era proximal to the Nile.
It should be noted that Seti I is a ruler during the 19th dynasty when he built a temple to honor the pharaohs from the earlier periods. Rameses II is the one who completed the construction.
So far, the things in sight are iron tools, open huts and pottery remnants together with 15 graves. Considering the size of these vaults, which are actually bigger than those seen n Abydos, it is perceived that social standing means everything to what has been presented.
If the discovered structure intends to make a difference in Egyptian tourism, the time to begin is now.
The country across the Nile nation has been hampered by the bombing of a Russian commercial plane that claimed the lives of 224 passengers on board in October 2015.
Since then, a drop of 9.8 million in 2011 has been incurred.
By 2016, the deficit has been registered at 2.2 million a year.
How the ancient architecture of an ancient metropolis will work is up to the Egyptian government.
