Pharaonic fortress found inside turquoise mines in Sinai

A typically brief State Information Service piece, and it may be a repetition of a discovery already known: "An Egyptian-Canadian mission unearthed a Fort from the Old Kingdom in Fairuz area in South Sinai. The mission, which is represented by experts from Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities and Toronto University, was conducting digging operations in Sahl El Markha site, 160 kilometers south of Suez, on the Western Coast of Sinai."
