In C.B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments, Charlton Heston's character Moses, brings back silk and displays it to the royal court. I always thought that was out of time and place, but I guess he was right!..................

Nope. Even if this find were correctly dated, the Exodus was mid-15th c BC; even the conventional misdating of the Exodus is two centuries older than the incorrect date of this find. My wild guess is, there was an earlier, then-recent discovery of something that appeared to be Chinese silk, from a Ramses ii context, that has subsequently been found to be not silk or not Chinese. :^)
