    Ancient Zeus Kasios Temple Unearthed In Egypt | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net)

    The Seleucid version of Zeus- post Alexander the Great.


    Ancient Zeus Kasios Temple Unearthed In Egypt | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net)

    Archaeologists in Egypt have excavated a vast temple built by members of the mysterious cult of Zeus Kasios .

    The Egyptian Tourism and Antiquities Ministry announced on Monday that archaeologists have unearthed a temple dedicated to the ancient Greek god Zeus Kasios. This oriental god was connected with Mt. Casius, where Zeus the Greek Sky God once worshiped.


    The crumbling stone pillars were excavated at the Tell el-Farma archaeological site in the northwestern corner of the Sinai Peninsula. Tell el-Farma is often known by its ancient name Pelusium, which dates back to the late Pharaonic period (525-332 BC). However, this temple site was later reused during Greco-Roman and Byzantine times.


    A Vibrant Ancient Fortified Border City

    Pelusium was an important city and border-fortress on a wild frontier, protecting Egypt from both the sea and Syria. Located in the eastern extremes of Egypt's Nile Delta, about two-and-a-half miles from the sea, the city is about 30 km to the southeast of the modern Port Said. This ancient population center would later become a Roman provincial capital and Metropolitan archbishopric. And while this was an ancient spiritual center, Pelusium is also known for being an early producer of fine craft beers.

    Fascinating discovery. As is this photogrammetric surveys.
    . Photogrammetric surveys establish targeted photo control on the surface of the ground. These images are compared to ultra-high resolution aerial photographs. Therefore, the temple s horizontal and vertical datums can be analyzed to help the archaeologists determine its original architectural design.

    Thanks for sharing. Is there any of us who, at least at one time, did not want to become and archaeologist?

    LOL, I once had the opportunity, for a day, to assist in a small dig, which, don't get me wrong, I am extremely glad I had the experience, but is why I am not an archeologist today!

    I'm dumb enough to have always pictured myself as the brilliant scientist running the show.

    It doesn't fit. I would go brush off some dirt maybe 3 times and then go get the backhoe.
