Remains of ancient bustling port discovered near Giza Pyramids

Everyday in Egypt new excavations are done and new 

monuments are discovered and 
today we have remains of 

a bustling port and barracks for sailors or military 

troops, which were apparently in use while the 

pyramids were being built about 4,500 years ago 

the remains , have been discovered near one of the most important sites in egypt and that's is the Giza Pyramids.

The archaeologists have been excavating a city near the Giza Pyramids that dates mainly to the reign of the king Menkaure, who built the last pyramid at Giza.

Also near the pyramids they have been excavating a town, located close to a monument dedicated to Queen Khentkawes, possibly a daughter of Menkaure.

The barracks are located at the city, while a newly discovered basin, that may be part of a harbor, is located by the Khentkawes town.

Several discoveries at the city and Khentkawes town suggest Giza was a thriving port, 

For instance, Lehner's team discovered a basin beside the Khentkawes town just 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) from the nearest Nile River channel.

This basin may be "an extension of a harbor or waterfront
