A farmer living near Ismailia in Egypt has uncovered a 2,600-year-old stela erected by pharaoh Apries, who ruled from about 589 B.C., to 570 B.C., the Egyptian antiquities ministry reported.
The farmer found this ancient slab of sandstone while preparing his land for cultivation, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Cairo; he then contacted the Tourism and Antiquities Police about the discovery, the ministry statement said. The stela is 91 inches (230 centimeters) long, 41 inches (103 cm) wide and 18 inches (45 cm) thick.
At the top of the stela is a carving of a winged sun disk (a disk that was sometimes associated with the sun god Ra) with a cartouche of pharaoh Apries, with 15 lines of hieroglyphic writing below that, the statement said. Apries, also known as Wahibre Haaibre, reigned during the 26th dynasty of Egypt (688 B.C. to –525 B.C.), a time when Egypt was independent and its capital was often located at Sais in northern Egypt.

Hmm...My Reformed Egyptian is a little rusty, but I think it says something about Nephites and Lamanites...
He sure will. He’s about to experience the full ego and glory robbing of Zahi Hawass.
I wonder if they’ll compensate him as they dig up his farm for 5-10 years? Might just do whatever version of eminent domain they have. Over there, it might be guns pointed at you and being told to gtfo.

Thanks mylife.
One of *those* topics. Glad to see that the Theban Mapping Project website is back up. In his tomb, Merenptah's cartouche reads, "King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Ba of Ra, Beloved of Amen; Son of Ra, Beloved of Ptah, Satisfied with Truth / Nisut-Bity Ba-en-Ra Mery-Amun Sa-Ra Mery-en-Ptah Hetep-her-Maat".

OTOH, here’s the cartouche on the TourEgypt website (from one of the pieces authored under a pseudonym by one Jimmy Dunn):

Whew! At first I thought it might be a farm in Tennessee.
That would have been given the good old jihadist treatment by the Smithsonian, if it had happened.
Did it end with “So let it be written. So let it be done.”
