Egyptian and German archaeologists have discovered a 2,000-year-old priest settlement in southern Egypt.
This was announced by the Supreme Council for Egyptian Antiquities. Buried in the desert sand in Tuna el-Gebel, some 200 kilometers (124 miles) south of Cairo, the elaborate dwellings belonged to the priests who worshipped the god Thoth in the form of ibis and baboons.
