Egypt in the Bronze Age

 

I really like amazing archaeological finds. And this is one of the more recent ones.

3,200-year-old ancient Egyptian barracks contains sword inscribed with 'Ramesses II'

"In addition, the archaeologists discovered the remains of weapons, including a bronze sword inscribed with the name of King Ramesses II (ruled circa 1279 to 1213 B.C.). The sword was found in a small room in the barracks, near an area where an enemy could try to infiltrate, an indication that this sword was intended for fighting and wasn't just for show, El Kharadly said.

They also found two inscribed limestone blocks; one has a hieroglyphic inscription that mentions Ramesses II, whereas the other cites an official named "Bay," the statement reported."
