Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered the wreck of an extremely rare vessel that traveled the Nile around 2,500 years ago, solving an ancient puzzle. The boat dates to what historians refer to as the “Late Period” in ancient Egypt, which ran from around 712 to 332 B.C. In January, archaeologists announced the discovery of ancient tombs in the Nile Delta north of Cairo. In another project, archaeologists discovered a stunning sphinx statue at an ancient temple in southern Egypt. Last summer, experts unlocked the secrets of a mysterious ancient ‘cursed’ black granite sarcophagus.
