2300-Year-Old Fortress Which Guarded Port That Supplied War Elephants Found in Egypt in Major Discovery

Archaeologists have discovered the ruins of a 2,300-year-old fortress that once protected the Ancient Egyptian port of Berenike, situated strategically on the coast of the Red Sea. The port had helped supply war elephants to the army of the Ptolemies and fragments of elephant skull were also found at the site. The discovery sheds light on the horrible history of rearing and training elephants to fight human wars.
