Jedar is an archaeological site located in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. It was first identified in 1994 by a team of archaeologists led by Dr. Willeke Wendrich and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Haeny of the University of California, Los Angeles. The site consists of four large stone structures that have been dated to the Third Intermediate Period, around 1000 BC. These structures are thought to have been used for religious, administrative and military activities. The site is significant as it provides evidence of the political organization of the period, which is otherwise poorly understood. Additionally, the artifacts found at the site, including pottery, sculptures and hieroglyphs, provide insight into the religious practices of the time.
