Shanghai Museum to help investigate origins of Egyptian writing, social structures and religion at the 5,100-year-old site
The temple is part of the ancient Memphis archaeological site dating back over 5,100 years, at a site that was then the capital of ancient Egypt and the home of the god Ptah.
The team selected the temple as the focus of the collaboration after surveying 10 sites during a research trip to Egypt in September last year.
The Shanghai Museum, which described the move as a milestone in cultural heritage collaboration, has assembled a joint excavation team led by deputy director Chen Jie.
