The War Path of Horus - New Sites

http://www.egypttoday.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=1805
This is the last paragraph on Egypt Today's News-Reel page, speculating about the War Path of Horus, and the light that new sites are casting on it: "Finally, the War Path of Horus has long been the subject of debate. Was it a myth, or historical fact? Only a handful of the 11 forts said to mark the ancient protective boundaries delineating Egypts territories have been discovered. Last month, three new forts believed to have been a part of the path were unearthed north of Ismailiyya, where they are thought to have marked and protected the kingdoms eastern borders. SCA officials are ecstatic, saying they believe the forts could shed new light on the military logic of the ancient Egyptians".
