Excavation of King Ramses II shrine in Matariya complete
The head of the mission Mamdouh El-Damaty explains that the shrine was once used during festivals.
The mission has also unearthed a collection of lintels, scarabs, amulets, clay pots and blocks engraved with hieroglyphic text.
El-Damaty says the discovery is important because it is a unique shrine from the New Kingdom that was used for the Heb Sed festival, not only during the reign of King Ramses II but throughout the Ramesside period.
