Archaeologists in Egypt have found a 3,000-year-old grave of a young warhorse inside an ancient fortress in the western Nile Delta.The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the discovery on September 16. The fortress at Tell Al-Abqain in Beheira province was first unearthed in 2024.The horse was a young male of a medium-sized breed known for agility and speed. Such horses were likely used for training, military work or pulling war chariots during the New Kingdom, which lasted from about 1550 to 1069 BCE.The posture of the skeleton and the direction of its head showed it was a deliberate, ceremonial burial. Nearby, the team found alabaster and limestone fittings that likely decorated a chariot harness.The dig also uncovered homes, grain silos, wells, roads and pottery ovens. Other finds include a stela bearing the names of Ramesses II, a carving of a bound Libyan prisoner, and scarabs.The fortress guarded the country's western border against Libyan tribes. The finds shed new light on military and daily life inside a New Kingdom fortress.
