Archaeologists Uncover 3,200-Year-Old Egyptian Fort with Artifacts Linked to Ramses II

The discovery includes a bronze sword inscribed with the pharaoh's name and a wealth of other military and religious items.

The fort, located in the Tal-Abaquian area, served as a military base during the New Kingdom Era, approximately 1550 to 1070 BCE.
Key findings include a bronze sword believed to have been used by Ramses II, inscribed with his name and cartouches.
Artifacts discovered reveal insights into daily military life, including storage items, weapons, pottery, and ovens.
Religious and spiritual items unearthed include scarabs, a faience scarab inscribed with 'Amun – Lord of the Sky,' and cow burials symbolizing strength and prosperity.
The fort's strategic location suggests it was used to defend against invasions by groups such as the Sea Peoples and Libyan tribes.
