The shimmering sword found in Egypt likely belonged to a high-ranking military official under the reign of Ramesses II who some scholars claimed is the pharaoh mentioned in the Bible

I have two bronze short swords from the same era. They look just like that except for a green patina.

Very disappointing to learn that Ramses did not look like Yul Brynner. 😆

It's older than I thought...........

Great!

1 Samuel 17

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
