The Egypt Exploration Fund Special Extra Report: The Season's Work at Ahnas and Beni Hasan (1891) provides a detailed account of the archaeological excavations conducted by the Egypt Exploration Fund at two significant sites in Middle Egypt: Ahnas (Heracleopolis Magna) and Beni Hasan. Ahnas was a prominent city during the First Intermediate Period, while Beni Hasan is famous for its Middle Kingdom rock-cut tombs adorned with detailed wall paintings. This report, aimed at scholars and fund members, documents the discoveries made during the excavation seasons, including architectural remains, artifacts, and inscriptions that shed light on ancient Egyptian society and religious practices. As part of the Egypt Exploration Fund's mission to uncover and preserve Egypt’s antiquities, the report is a valuable record of 19th-century Egyptology, contributing to the growing body of knowledge about Egypt’s rich archaeological heritage.
