Archaeologists in Egypt have excavated a vast temple built by members of the mysterious cult of Zeus Kasios .
The Egyptian Tourism and Antiquities Ministry announced on Monday that archaeologists have unearthed a temple dedicated to the ancient Greek god Zeus Kasios. This oriental god was connected with Mt. Casius, where Zeus the Greek Sky God once worshiped.
The crumbling stone pillars were excavated at the Tell el-Farma archaeological site in the northwestern corner of the Sinai Peninsula. Tell el-Farma is often known by its ancient name Pelusium, which dates back to the late Pharaonic period (525-332 BC). However, this temple site was later reused during Greco-Roman and Byzantine times.
