Mohamed Ismail Khaled, the secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said that the barracks served as a “crucial military stronghold for the ancient Egyptian army on the western military road.”

They were used to guard Egypt’s “northwestern borders from attacks by Libyan tribes and Sea People”, he added.
