Israeli archaeologists have announced the 'once-in-a-lifetime' discovery of a burial cave from the time of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Rameses II.
Bowls — some of them painted red, some containing bones — chalices, cooking pots, storage jars, lamps and bronze arrowheads or spearheads could be seen in the cave.
"The cave may furnish a complete picture of the Late Bronze Age funerary customs," said Eli Yannai, an IAA Bronze Age expert. The provenance of the pottery vessels — Cyprus, Lebanon, northern Syria, Gaza and Jaffa — is testimony to the"lively trading activity that took place along the coast", Yannai said in an IAA statement.
