Baz Dane Posted April 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Nothing too extrordinary I imagine(like no Aliens or lasers). But cool find... http://www.huffingto..._n_5118555.html "Found alongside the new sarcophagus was a scarab seal ring encased in gold, carved with the name of Pharaoh Seti I, who ruled ancient Egypt in the 13th century BC. Seti I conquered the area of today's Israel in the first year of his reign, in order to secure Egyptian trade routes and collect taxes for Egypt, said archaeologist Ron Beeri, who participated in the dig. The man buried in the sarcophagus might have been a tax collector for the pharaoh, Beeri said." In Northern Israel near Nazareth too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docyabut2 Posted April 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2014 A ring with an Egyptian scarab seal was found with the name of the crown worn by Egyptian pharaoh Seti I, who ruled Egypt in the Late Bronze Age. Seti I was the father of Ramses II and some scholars identify him as the pharaoh in the biblical story of the Israelite's exodus from Egypt. The seal of Seti I helped the archaeologists date the site back to the thirteenth century B.C. The grave sites of two men and two women were also found near the coffin. The discovery confirms Egyptian control of the Jezreel Valley in the thirteenth century B.C. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/04/09/israeli-archaeologists-uncover-3300-year-old-coffin-gold-signet/?intcmp=obnetwork A question could Akhenaton have been Moses and a return to his mother`s home land ?

:PsYKoTiC:BeHAvIoR: Posted April 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I guess there is some truth behind the stereotype that jewish people are good at handling financial affairs. Even the Egyptian Pharaoh Seti I recognized their talents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
