All Archaeological Sites of the Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and North Africa

Archaeological sites and ancient remains this atlas records as belonging to the ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt or North Africa: Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Levantine and Persian sites, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and Ait Benhaddou, a fortified Moroccan caravan village. Ancient Egypt is folded into this group rather than standing alone, since real membership yields only one genuine Egyptian entry once several keyword false positives (Byblos, Ebla and Hattusa, each mentioning Egypt only in an unrelated historical comparison) are corrected to their own true locations in Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. Belongs here: any ancient site this subcategory records as belonging to the Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt or North Africa. Does not belong here: a site belonging to one of this subcategory's other named ancient-world regions.
