CAIRO, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- A German-Swiss archaeological mission discovered an ancient carpentry workshop in the Elephantine Island in Upper Egypt's Aswan Province, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities said in a statement on Thursday.

Containing many woodworking tools such as axes, the uncovered workshop dates back to the reign of King Thutmose III and the early rule of King Amenhotep II of the 18th Dynasty, some 3,500 years ago, according to the statement.
