When they unearthed 1 the floor of the buildings within which the objects had been found, they discovered another surprise.
We found a special set of stones, consisting of a tethering stone up front here then an opening in the ground surrounded by limestone 2, now the sites of allthis is in such a way that a horse of that time, a male horse would be tethered to those 2 stones that it would be urinating directly into these openings,giving us the possibility to say that we do have horse toilets. And a later archaeological experiment shows this and proves this we took mules 4 which haveabout the same size as the horses in ancient times and one of this mule 3 did us the favor of urinating directly into the openings.
Six rows of ten rooms each and in each room several positions to tether horses. It meant the complex must once have been home to at least 460 horses.
Stabling on such a large scale could only mean some kind of military complex. Horses were the mainstay of a Pharaoh’s army and the sites certainly dated tothe time of Ramesses the Great. But stables were not unique to Piramesse. It was the continued discovery of hundreds more of the mystery objects, some ofthem completely intact 5 that finally proved the most significant.
Only by chance we found out what these objects were, I was going through the Cairo Museum and I suddenly saw that there are knobs 6 like this immediatelyconnected with the yoke 7 of the stave chariots of tuteharmon. Thousands of these stone knobs would have held together the harnesses of Ramesses the Great'smany more chariots. When combined with a number of horses stabled here, this could only amount to one thing, has ancient texts spoken of Piramesse as havinga large chariot garrison 8, it was exactly the size of a complex you'd expect to find of the lost site of Ramesses the Second's capital city.
