Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered a 3,200-year-old military barracks, providing valuable insights into the logistics and defense strategies of Ramesses II’s reign. The site yielded a trove of artifacts, including a sword inscribed with the pharaoh’s name, evidence of food storage and preparation, and even cow burials, hinting at a possible source of sustenance for the troops.
An archaeological discovery beneath a religious center in Abydos, Egypt, has revealed a granite sarcophagus fragment belonging to Ramesses II, one of ancient Egypt’s most prominent rulers. The sarcophagus, previously identified as containing the remains of Menkheperre, a 21st dynasty high priest, has now been connected to Ramesses II through the deciphering of a cartouche bearing his name.
