Notes on the Origin of Casemate Foundation Platforms in Ancient Egypt

Casemate foundation platforms appeared in Egypt in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC during the 2nd Intermediate period. As they are similar in nature to palace-citadel structures from the capital of Egypt under the Hyksos, Avaris, the possibility of their being Asiatic in origin has been conside...

As they are similar in nature to palace-citadel structures from the capital of Egypt under the Hyksos, Avaris, the possibility of their being Asiatic in origin has been considered.

The link between casemate foundation platforms and high Nile floods, as well as their structural features, unquestionably suggest Egyptian origin.
