Bubastis, Archaeological site in Sharqia Governorate, Egypt.
The ruins contain multiple stone structures, including the Temple of Bastet and palace remains spread across the eastern Nile Delta region.
During the Twenty-Second Dynasty around 945 BC, Bubastis served as a capital city and maintained strong commercial relations through the Delta region.
The temple complex housed numerous cat mummies and religious artifacts, reflecting the central role of the feline goddess Bastet in Egyptian worship.
The archaeological site stands near modern Zagazig city and contains excavated areas with visible foundations, columns, and architectural fragments.
Archaeologists discovered a preserved copy of the Decree of Canopus among the ruins, providing insights into ancient Egyptian governance and religion.
