CAIRO (AP) - Archaeologists exploring an old military
road
in the Sinai have unearthed four new temples amidst the
3,000-year-old remains of an ancient fortified city ...

Somehow 3000-year-old ruins doesn't quite fit with my
idea of the word
"new".

"Lost" or "unknown", maybe, but certainly not new. Just
another
examply of journalistic logorrhea and poor proof-reading.

The political leanings of the "journalist" are clear from
the paragraph
that reads:

"The path once connected Egypt to Palestine and is close
to
present-day Rafah, which borders the Palestinian territory
of Gaza."

There was no country named Palestine then, or at any time
between then
and now. The writer apparently couldn't bring himself to
write "Israel."

Perhaps he's ****ed off that the Zionists invaded the Levant
in 1948 (and before), causing the displacement of much of
its population.
Quite reasonable, really.
