Slovak Egyptologists discovered a strange structure on an archaeological mission in the town of Tell el-Retaba. They assume these are remains of a transport road used by Egypt workers and soldiers to distribute construction materials.
The structure consists of earthenware cement-like material with a width of just under two metres and thickness of about 20 centimetres.
“It stretched along the inner side of the fortification with a distance of about two metres,” said Jozef Hudec of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, as quoted by the TASR newswire.

The material is reinforced with a surface of irregular, greenish unfired bricks on the inner side, he added.
