The Xinhua reported, Egypt announced on Monday (Apr 25) the discovery of the remains of a Greco-Roman temple in North Sinai.

In a statement, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said that an Egyptian archaeological mission unearthed the remains of a temple for Zeus at the site of Tell el-Farama in North Sinai.

Mustafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, said the location of the temple was determined after excavators found remains of a huge gate on the surface of the earth at the site.

Waziri added, the gate consisted of two pink granite columns, each about 8 meters long and 1 meter thick, in addition to a granite lintel that was installed at the top of the gate.

The Xinhua noted that the Greco-Roman Period in Egypt (332 BC -395 AD) marks the end of Persian rule over Egypt.
