The site finds traces of the ruins of the old city in the province of al-Bahira, which is located northeast of Cairo. It was excavated underneath a thick layer of mud in the Kom al-Ahmar area, about 25km south of Rashid, a tributary of the Nile.

The magnetic exploration results show that the excavation area has many large buildings, surrounded by a wall into a rectangle. These buildings can be used for administrative and religious purposes.

"This discovery has important historical significance because it reflects the daily life of this area, in the period from 343 BC to 395 AD," Fox News quoted the Minister of Antiquities. Egyptian Mamdouh al-Damati said.

According to the minister, the excavation area is a prominent prototype of the Greek-Roman period, which can provide important research information about the architecture of many ancient cities.
