“Twelve sacrificial votive bulls’ heads and bones dated to the Ptolomaic period were found in niches cut into the walls of the storerooms. In addition, a complete skeleton of a bull was found carefully buried under the floor of the temple palace.”

Looks like the cupboard was bare. I forget. Is Ramses II supposed to be the Pharaoh of Joseph or Moses???
