Kahun

Kahun is an ancient Egyptian city that dates back to around 2000 BCE, known for its well-preserved archaeological site. It was a planned settlement established during Egypt’s Middle Kingdom period, primarily serving as a workforce community for nearby royal projects, such as the construction of pyramids and temples. The city provides valuable insights into everyday life, social organization, and craftsmanship of that era. Its grid-like layout, residential houses, workshops, and administrative buildings reveal a sophisticated urban planning effort. Kahun's remains are important for understanding ancient Egyptian society, economy, and innovation beyond their monumental architecture.
