Tell El-Dab'a, Archaeological site in eastern Nile Delta, Egypt.
Tell El-Dab'a encompasses two square kilometers of excavated remains, featuring ancient temples, residential structures, and burial chambers along former Nile waterways.
The site served as Avaris, capital of the Hyksos rulers from 1640 to 1530 BCE, until water channels filled with sediment led to its abandonment.
The excavated tombs reveal combined Egyptian and Canaanite architectural elements, including vaulted mud-brick chambers containing bronze artifacts and ceremonial objects.
The Austrian Archaeological Institute conducts research at Tell El-Dab'a through geomagnetic surveys, analyzing settlement patterns and ancient urban development.
Researchers discovered Minoan fresco fragments within the complex, indicating direct cultural connections between Egypt and Mediterranean civilizations during the New Kingdom period.
