King Khufu's Port


Recent discoveries at the Wadi El Jerf have revealed a 4500-year-old port on the Red Sea coast from the Old Kingdom, including the Fourth Dynasty King Khufu's name on stones used to seal dozens of nearby caves. Best of all, a stash of rare Old Kingdom papyrus has been discovered.
