Pharoah's Ring Discovered in Jerusalem

החרפושית המצרית שנמצאה
In yet another very timely archaeological discovery, an Egyptian signet ring was unearthed in Jerusalem. The ring bears the name, in hieroglyphics, of the Egyptian god Amun-Ra.

This ring too was discovered in Ir David and it has been dated to the 13th century bc., about when the Jews left Egypt.

  1. What's your source for saying "according to some researchers Amun-Ra was the Pharoah at the time of the Exodus"?

  3. I suggest you re-read it, since it actually says that some researchers identify Ramsees II as the Pharoah in Exodus.

  4. I can't find any confirmation of this on other websites. Where would I look to confirm it?

  5. you are right, i took it out.

    interestingly, Hamodia has an article this week about which Pharoah was in the time of the exodus. it talks about different possibilities, but doesnt mention Ramses2.

  6. Come on Rafi, since when have Chareidi publications ever given a balanced historical picure based on honest scholarship?

    On a separate note, Why's the posting titled "Pharoah's ring discovered in Jerusalem"? I don't see anything that indicates that the ring belonged to Pharoah anymore more than any ancient believer in the god Amun-Ra.

  7. the title was based on my initial mis-reading of a line in the article, which I originally included in the post . Upon correction I remved that line, but forgot to change the title
