Located within the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt, the Ramesseum, most notably recognized for its imposing 57-foot seated statue of Ramses II, stands as the second-largest temple in Ancient Egypt.
Within the temple precinct, archaeologists have uncovered the first tangible evidence of a school, the existence of which was previously theorized but never confirmed. This discovery includes the architectural layout of the teaching facility. According to a press release, researchers also recovered drawings and ancient school games.
Outside the main temple structure, a flourishing network of workspaces and tombs filled with artifacts has been brought to light.
