An ancient burial cave from the 13th century B.C. was discovered on a beach in Israel last week, Israeli officials said Sunday.
Archaeologists used a ladder to descend into the man-made square cave after a mechanical digger working at the Palmahim national park made the discovery Tuesday. The room was filled with dozens of pottery pieces and bronze artifacts, according to video footage by the Israel Antiquities Authority.“This is a once-in-a-lifetime discovery," Eli Yannai, an expert in the Bronze Age with the IAA, said.
The findings date to the reign of Egyptian Pharaoh Rameses II, who controlled Canaan between 1279-1213 BC, which encompassed modern-day Israel and the territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
