Abstract

The current site of Tell Basta is one of Egypt's most important archaeological sites. The location was vital during the different historical periods in ancient Egypt. The city is located in Sharkia Governorate in the Eastern Nile Delta. However, it became the Eastern entrance of Egypt during the ages and became an important religious, commercial, and administrative center. The city was a spiritual place where people came every year to practice their rituals. The location was a station for exchanging trading goods and providing campaigns. The site included many archaeological remains and monumental objects dated from the old kingdom until the Greaco-roman periods. The site reached its glory during the (22nd-24th) dynasties, and it became the political capital of Egypt during that period. The most important discoveries at Tell Basta are the great temple, the royal cemetery, unique buildings, statues, and other monumental blocks. This research aims to highlight the archaeological sites in Sharkia, especially Tell Basta and the nearby locations. The site needs many scientific studies and further excavations to be developed. This research focuses on the historical archeological importance of the area to be placed on Egypt's Tourism Map and included in the Local and International Tourism Programs.
