Radar shows ancient Egyptian city!


Image released by the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities on Sunday, June 20, 2010,

We can see on the image the outlines of houses, streets etc. This is all under the town of Tel al-Dabaa.

An Austrian archaeological used the radar images to show the ruins of the Hykos's capital. The archaeologist wanted to see what the extend of the city is.
