Helіopolіs Reports 1
Since 2012, an Egyptian-German archaeological Mission has been working in the temple district of Heliopolis in Matariya/Cairo. Under the circumstances of progressive urban development, findings from the temple buildings and their associated infrastructure were examined in a number of areas. The publication gives an initial overview of the results and presents a selection of important finds. The project is carried out by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Leipzig University, the High School of Applied Sciences Mainz and the German Archaeological Institut – Cairo Branch. The project was funded by the German Research Foundation, the Gerda Henkel Foundation, various other foundations and individual support.
