Archaeologists in Egypt excavating in the remains of a 3,200-year-old military structure at Housh Eissa, south of Alexandria, have discovered a bronze sword inscribed with the name of Rameses II. The barracks appear to be part of the system of forts that Egypt placed along a military road in the northwest Nile Delta. The bronze sword was found in a part of the barracks that was susceptible to attack, indicating that it may have been actually intended for use in warfare and not just for display. It’s quality and inscription suggest that it may have been used by a high-ranking official. The archaeologists also discovered limestone blocks with hieroglyphic inscriptions mentioning Rameses as well. According to a straightforward reading of the Bible’s internal chronology, Rameses II was pharaoh of Egypt during the period of the Judges.
