Egypt's lost city of Imet rediscovered: Multi-storey tower houses and cobra goddess shrines emerge from the Nile Delta

Egypt's lost city of Imet rediscArchaeologists from the University of Manchester and the University of Sadat City in Cairo have uncovered the remains of the ancient Egyptian city of Imet in the eastern Nile Delta a densely built urban centre dating to around the 4th century BCE whose streets, multi-storey homes, granaries, and religious buildings had been invisible under farmland for centuries. The excavation at Tell el-Fara'in, also known as Tell Nabasha, in Sharqia Governorate, was directed by Dr Nicky Nielsen of the University of Manchester in collaboration with Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and combined high-resolution satellite imagery and Landsat remote sensing data with targeted ground excavation to locate buried architecture that earlier digs at the site had entirely missed.
