[QUOTE="JediMatt1000, post: 1829, member: 48"] [FONT=courier new][SIZE=3]ISRAEL – Scientists reported an unbelievable find of a burial rock shelter from the period of Pharaoh Rameses II. The cavern is overflowing with bronze-age relics and earthen pots and pottery bits. The lair was unearthed on a seaside when a construction excavator laboring in the Palmahim National Park struck the ceiling of the cavern. Archaeologists then came down operating a step-ladder into the manufactured hollow. The Israel Antiquities Authority has made publicized a video showcasing the awestruck scientists gleaming their flashlights on various fragments and ceramic vats and streamers of different shapes and masses that have been determined to have come from the time period of Rameses II who died in 1213 BC. Pots, crocks, a few holding bones (some outlined in red paint) cups, mugs, vats for storing goods, oil lamplets, and bronze-age arrowheads could be spotted in the shelter. These items were considered to be funerary donations to go with the dead on their final voyage into life after death, and remain 3,300 years later intact. One comparatively undamaged skeleton was located in one of two rectangle-shaped graves at the edge of the crypt.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=courier new]Dr. Eli Yannai, an Israel Antiquities Authority Bronze Age consultant said, "The cave may furnish a complete picture of the Late Bronze Age funerary customs...an extremely rare...once in a lifetime discovery,” as reported by The Archaeologist.
