Archaeologists have found about 60 inscribed two-ton limestone blocks at Egypt's 3,000-year-old Tell El-Habua site--such as this one from the doorjamb of the temple of Thutmose II, the earliest pharaoh depicted at the site, whose discovery was announced April 21, 2009.

"There're not many inscriptions from North Sinai, but now we've opened the gate, and I'm sure we'll find many more," said archaeologist Abdel-Maqsoud, after 25 years of exploring the area.

All the inscriptions will be transferred to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
