Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said mummified animal remains were found in the temple, including ewes, dogs, goats, cows, gazelles, and about 2,000 ram heads.

Officially, the ram heads, believed to have been sacrificed by people at the time, date back to the Ptolemaic period in Egypt (305 BC to 30 BC), indicating that Ramses II was still revered locally after his death Plus.

In addition to the mummified animal remains, the excavation team of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University also discovered a huge palace-like building with walls about 5 meters thick. The initial determination date can be traced back to Sixth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (2345 BC to 2181 BC), plus several statues, papyrus, remains of ancient trees, leather garments and shoes.

Sameh Iskander, head of the archaeological team, said the building would help the team reconstruct the ancient landscape of Abydos before the temple of Ramses II was built.

The archaeological team unearthed more than 2,000 ram heads at the site.
