The Egyptian Army’s 3,000-Year-Old Food Supply Was Found 🏺🌾

What kept Egyptian soldiers fed inside a remote New Kingdom fortress?

At Tell al-Abqain in Egypt’s western Delta, archaeologists uncovered a military settlement containing grain silos, pottery ovens, large storage jars and carbonized wheat.

The fortress was built to protect Egypt’s western frontier, and the new discoveries reveal something we rarely focus on: the everyday logistics behind an ancient army.

Soldiers needed weapons.

But they also needed grain, ovens, storage and people managing the food supply.

The battlefield may be the most dramatic part of military history—but the logistics behind it made everything possible.
