Moroccan archaeologists unearth new ruins at Chellah

Archaeologists have uncovered additional ancient ruins believed to be remnants of a thriving port city near the present-day capital of Morocco.

The discoveries include thermal baths and working-class neighborhoods at Chellah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering 1.2 square miles (3.15 square kilometers) — almost five times the size of Pompeii.

Researchers from Morocco’s National Institute of Archaeological Sciences and Heritage presented the new findings, shedding light on the historical significance of the site.

Chellah is thought to have been initially settled by the Phoenicians and later became a crucial outpost of the Roman Empire from the second to the fifth century, the Associated Press reported.
