A team of US archaeologists has discovered the ruins of a city dating back to the Neolithic period in Egypt’s Fayum oasis.
The site is just seven kilometers from Fayum lake and would probably have lain at the water’s edge at the time it was inhabited by the first farmers 7,000 years ago.
The remains consist of walls and houses in terracotta or dressed limestone as well as a large quantity of pottery and the foundations of ovens and grain stores. An electromagnetic survey has also revealed the existence of a network of walls and roads similar to those constructed during the Greco-Roman period.
