Shocking origin of skeleton wearing gold ring engraved with Egyptian pharaoh's name

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a man wearing a gold ring bearing the name of Pharaoh Ramesses III while excavating an Egyptian tomb about 3,000 years old at Tell el-Maschuta. The identity of this man has caused much curiosity.

In the burial chamber, archaeologists found the remains of a man wearing a gold ring with the name of the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses III engraved on it. They also discovered bronze arrowheads, a small ivory box and inscribed ceramic vessels. Photo: Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Some inscriptions bear the name of Horemheb (also spelled Haremhab) - a pharaoh who reigned from about 1323 BC to 1295 BC. He was a military leader before becoming an Egyptian pharaoh . Photo: Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Experts are not sure why the inscriptions mention Horemheb, but they suggest that one possibility is that the pottery in the ancient tomb was reused at the burial site. Photo: Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

From artifacts found in the ancient tomb, experts speculate that this place was built for a military commander serving Pharaoh Ramesses III. Photo: Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Anthony Spalinger, emeritus professor of classical literature and ancient history at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, said more information about the inscriptions was needed to determine the exact identity of the tomb's owner. Photo: Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

Meanwhile, Aidan Dodson, an Egyptology professor at the University of Bristol in the UK, is skeptical that the tomb could have been originally built during Horemheb's reign and then reused several times. Photo: X/Luxor Times.

“It appears that the tomb was first used under Horemheb, reused under pharaoh Ramesses III and again during the 23rd Dynasty based on the artifacts found inside,” said Professor Dodson. Photo: X/Luxor Times.
