| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a bronze sword of Pharaoh Ramses II during excavations in the province of El-Buheira. This was reported by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt.
Archaeologists also discovered a number of adobe structures, including military barracks, weapons depots, and food storage facilities. They were dated to the New Kingdom, the heyday of ancient Egyptian statehood (c. 1550–1100 BC). The findings confirm the archaeological significance of El Abqain Fort, a military outpost on the country's northwestern border during the New Kingdom, said Mohammed Ismail Khaled, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. As reported by the Regnum news agency, in July, Spanish archaeologists discovered the remains of one of the most ancient archaic people in Europe, aged 850 thousand years, during excavations in the Gran Dolina mountain range in the Sierra de Atapuerca. Among the discovered fragments of skull bones, ribs and vertebrae, the researchers also found a tooth, which presumably belonged to a 25-year-old woman, whose remains were previously found in this region. 850 thousand years? | |

| #2 Regnum doesn't link to their sources unfortunately. However a better report on the archaeological finds is available here at https://www.egyptindependent.com/archaeological-breakthrough-uncovers-sacred-sites-and-military-secrets/ and the Egyptian team does not claim the sword belongs to Ramses II, just that it has his symbols on it |

| #1 Just because they find a quarter, that doesn't mean it belonged to George W., just because it has his likeness. |
