A temple pylon measuring 150 feet wide made of sandstone blocks was found at the Athribis site dating to the Ptolemy dynasty when Egypt was ruled by the descendants of Alexander of Macedon’s generals.

The discovery by a joint Egyptian - German team is considered a “significant milestone” that will pave the way for further excavation at the temple site.
