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."

Except of course Herodotus mentions the Palestinians in the mid 5th c. BC.
The name Palestine following Herodotus was used to designate the region after
Hadrian reorganized the regional government.

It is never intelligent to believe Zionist propaganda.
