According to the ministry, the archaeological mission is currently working to produce three-dimensional models of the finds and study them in preparation for a scientific publication that will detail the discoveries.In May this year, another team of researchers published a study reporting that a 'long-lost' branch of the Nile may help to explain the location of several ancient pyramids.
