Excavation work at Tell el-Abqain in Egypt’s Beheira Governorate has revealed the residential heart of a New Kingdom frontier fortress. In addition to planned streets and rooms built with mud bricks, archaeologists discovered grain storage facilities, ovens, inscriptions from officials of the Royal Government, holy charms, and the carefully arranged burial of a small horse. The finds demonstrate that, apart from fighting, the Egyptians had built a place where their soldiers were provided with food, uniforms, shelters, and what they saw as protection from divine forces.
