I thought a scarab was an Egyptian in South Carolina.

(Never mind, I’ll be serious.) 3,000 years ago would be during the time of the combined Kingdom, Saul, David, or Solomon era. David Rohl’s chronological theory asserts that Ramesses attacked Jerusalem during Rehoboam’s reign, so it would not be surprising to find a scarab reflecting the kind of art found in the Amarna era, during King David’s reign.

Thanks chajin. David Rohl is correct that the Egyptian New Kingdom is misdated, but his revision is not correct here.
