Egypt’s Minister of Antiquities has announced the discovery of an ancient Egyptian temple 40 kilometers south of the Great Pyramids of Giza.The temple, likely belonging to the reign of the New Kingdom’s King Thutmose III, dates back approximately 3,000 years and was discovered after authorities discovered seven locals illegally excavating an area beneath their home.

Cool On the Find

As for the seven locals who discovered the ancient temple, Egypt’s police arrested them for the illegal excavation and the area has now been declared an archaeological site under the control of the Ministry of Antiquities which will continue work on the site.

Not cool on the Arrests ! They should be thanked imo
otherwise it would still be unknown.

If I lived there, I'd be Tunneling....
Directly Towards Giza :laughing7:
 

Lucky!!! After seeing this story, I started feeling just like Indiana Jones. :whip2:
