Ancient Pottery Workshop Discovered in Egypt

Egyptian archaeologists have uncovered a pottery workshop dating back 4,500 years. It is a rare discovery providing a glimpse into daily life from millenia ago. The discovery, including a stone pottery wheel, was made close to the southern city of Aswan during work around the Temple of Kom Ombo on the banks of the Nile River, AFP quoted officials from Egypt’s Ministry of State of Antiquities as saying. The workshop was built during the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt (between 2613 and 2494 BC), a statement said, the same period in which the famous pyramids of Giza were constructed.
