Thanks. A royal identification. DM had an article on 5/30 but people were focused on something else at the time. The first thing that jumped out was...

... that it must have been a monastery in the 4D galaxy

I cannot help it. The other day Apophis is in the news, and now Abydos. What’s next, Colonel O’Neill taking on Anubis?

By examining the newly engraved hieroglyphic texts, Frédéric Payraudeau was able to establish that they contained the cartouche of Ramesses II himself.


Reads like some one just recently engraved hieroglyphics the cartouche of Ramesses II to ‘prove’ the ownership.

That cannot be correct.
