About
Harageh, known for its archaeological significance, is a modern village situated in Egypt's Fayum region near El-Lahun. It is primarily renowned for a series of cemeteries spanning several key eras in Egyptian history, from the Naqada Period through the First Intermediate Period, Late Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom, reaching into the Coptic Period. These cemeteries have yielded valuable archaeological finds, including stelae, inscribed coffins, canopic jars, and statues. Notably, a unique stela dedicated to the god Hedjhotep was found here. The site appears to have served as a burial ground for wealthy individuals, possibly from El-Lahun. Harageh provides crucial insights into the funerary practices and material culture of Ancient Egypt across multiple dynastic and cultural transitions, making it a vital resource for archaeologists and historians alike.
