Two 4,500-year-old houses discovered near Giza pyramids

Scientists have discovered two ancient homes near the Giza pyramids in Egypt that may have housed officials responsible for overseeing the production of food for a paramilitary force over 4,500 years ago.

Researchers from US-based Ancient Egypt Research Associates discovered the structures in an ancient port at Giza, which is believed to have flourished at the time when the Pyramid of Menkaure was being constructed.

One of the officials living in the structures may have been responsible for the containment and slaughtering of animals for food
