Nile-Linked Circular Temple Unearthed in Egypt’s Pelusium

Archaeologists in Egypt uncovered a 2,200-year-old circular temple at Tell el-Farama (Pelusium) with a central basin and an extensive water network connected directly to the Nile, suggesting river-centered rituals; the site shows Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences and was in use from the 2nd century BCE to the 6th century CE, prompting reinterpretation from a civic building to a sacred water installation.
