According to Reuters, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced recently unearthed a city dating back over 7,000 years and a cemetery from the first dynasty in the southern province of Sohag.
This finding is likely to be motivated to revive the smokeless industry which is facing many challenges of Egypt.
Sohag province is likely to have been inhabited by many nobles to the past. New archaeological discoveries help people have more insight into Abydos - one of the oldest cities in ancient Egypt.
According to archaeological experts, Abydos was the capital of Egypt before the government feudal dynasty lasted through the first 4 in Egypt.
Egyptian Antiquities Ministry described: "The size of the tombs found in cemeteries in some cases greater than the royal tombs at Abydos first dynasty, this shows the importance of people being burial in it and their high position in the social hierarchy in the early stages of the history of ancient Egypt. "
