Where it stands
Archaeologists have discovered remains of a temple dedicated to Horus and artifacts from the reign of Ramesses II in Ismailia, Egypt. The finds are linked to the lost city of Mesn, which some believe is the biblical Pi-Ramesses, a city built by Ramesses II and mentioned in the biblical Exodus story. The discovery was made during excavations in the Ismailia region.
The city of Mesn is believed to have been a significant administrative and religious center during the reign of Ramesses II. The temple of Horus and the artifacts found are seen as strong indicators of the city's location. The reporting does not yet specify the exact nature of the artifacts or the extent of the temple ruins.
The connection between the lost city of Mesn and the biblical Pi-Ramesses is not universally accepted. The archaeological community awaits further details and verification of the findings.
