Let me guess: the Muslims will claim that Mohammed built the city when Allah sent him back in time?

‘Satellites hovering above Egypt have zoomed in on a 1,600-year-old metropolis, archaeologists say. ‘

‘Curiously, when magnified, the words ‘Death to America’ are clearly seen.....’

I’ll have to check that out later, thanks Blam!

[AdmSmith]

Sure, it is clearly visible. I anticipate that we here at FR can beat the others and try to find other sites, not only in Egypt, but in Yemen and Libya as well.

Astounding how effective satellite photography is for this purpose.

[ovrtaxt]

Far out.

There’s an ancient egyptian city that came from space?

No, you fool!

A Giant Space Gull flying overhead dropped a load and spotted the Egyptian city.

I understand the the Giant Space Gull was royally p'd off because Captain Jerk had ordered Mr. Schlock to fire a photon wedgie to pry it out of the U.S.S. Undersize's way.

[Sigh!] I thought EVERYONE knew that story. It was in Episode 6849, and has been rerun at least 6 times in every language known to man & alien, including Tolkien's High Elvish.

[Fred Nerks]

The site, which is translated as Chicken Hill, is located on the remains of a settlement dating back to the fourth millennium B.C. – the very beginning of the kingdom of the pharaohs.

a date that corresponds with the age of Caral in South America...FWIW
