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.FactsAll Archaeological Sites of the Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and North AfricaSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested9500 BCE 1All Archaeological Sites of the Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and North AfricaFilter Results26 entriesStyleAllAchaemenid Architecture (2)Assyrian Architecture (2)Georgian Architecture (1)Greek Revival Architecture (1)Mesopotamian Architecture (2)Mycenaean Architecture (1)Nabataean Architecture (1)Roman Architecture (3)Sasanian Architecture (1)MaterialAllBrick (8)Granite (1)Limestone (6)Rammed Earth (1)Sandstone (1)Stone (7)Timber (1)Building TypeAllAncient Assyrian city (1)Ancient capital city (archaeological site) (1)Ancient city (6)Ancient city (archaeological site) (1)ancient city (settlement) (1)Ancient City Ruins (1)Archaeological site (1)Archaeological tell of an ancient city and kingdom (1)capital of the Hittite Empire (1)City (1)Ksar (1)Lighthouse (1)Mausoleum (1)Neolithic and Chalcolithic tell settlement, proto-city (1)Neolithic archaeological site (1)Neolithic defensive stone wall and tower at Tell es-Sultan (1)Plantation (1)Royal Palace (1)Sumerian city-state (ancient city) (1)Completed YearAll-7500 (1)-4000 (1)-3800 (1)-3200 (1)-3000 (2)-1894 (1)-800 (1)-351 (1)-279 (1)1848 (1)1929 (1)Standing StatusAllDemolished (1)Ruined (8)Standing (17)GroupAllArchaeological Sites of the Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and North Africa (26)PlaceAllEgypt (1)Germany (1)Greece (1)India (1)Iran (3)Iraq (7)Jordan (2)Lebanon (1)Morocco (1)Palestine (1)Syria (1)Turkey (7)United Kingdom (1)United States (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 26Ait BenhaddouArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsBabylonArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsByblosArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsCatalhoyukArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsEblaArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsEphesusArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsGobekli TepeArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsHatraArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsHattusaArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsJerashArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsJerichoArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsLevi Jordan Plantation State Historic SiteArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsLighthouse of AlexandriaArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsMausoleum at HalicarnassusArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsMycenaeArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsNimrudArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsNinevehArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsPasargadaeArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsPergamonArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsPersepolisArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsPetraArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsSusaArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsTaq KasraArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsTroyArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsUrArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsUrukArchaeological Sites and Ancient RemainsSources1.
