CAIRO, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- An Egyptian-Chinese archaeological mission had uncovered a limestone structure believed to be part of the temple of King Apries from Egypt's 26th Dynasty (664-525 BC) at the Tel Aziz site east of the Mit Rahina area in Giza, Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a statement on Thursday.

The joint mission, formed by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, China's Peking University and the Shandong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, made the discovery during excavation work at the site, where parts of the temple had been uncovered in earlier excavation seasons.
