An Egyptian archaeological team has uncovered battlements from Pharaonic times at the ancient eastern gateway to Egypt in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, the Culture Ministry said Wednesday.
The find includes three fortifications built in the area of Tharu, an ancient city that stood on a branch of the Nile that has long since dried up, a ministry statement said.
