Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni said an archeological mission discovered the remnants of an ancient military town in the governorate of Ismailiya.

The discovered military town dates back to the 26th Dynasty (664-625 BC).

It was found in Tel Defna between Al-Manzala Lake and the Suez Canal.

The area had been chosen by king Rameses II to avoid attacks from the eastern borders.

In addition, the area was used as crossing point by trade convoys coming from east. The discovered military city belongs to king Ibsemalik I.

That's bearings unless you are referring to removal of apparel.

As I used to tell my wife, "come; bare with me;" now, I couldn't bear to bare it... I have this thing against being laughed at.

But I never lose my bearings; I keep both of them in the same pocket, so I can roll them around and around in my hand, while eating my strawberries.

Would you like to come aboard, and sail with us down the Suez Canal, to Al-Manzala Lake? Just promise you won't steal my strawberries.

Thanks for the ping!, Sunk...the sound reminds me of my bearings. Would you like a strawberry?
