A farmer living near Ismailia in Egypt has uncovered a 2,600-year-old stela erected by pharaoh Apries, who ruled from about 589 B.C., to 570 B.C., the Egyptian antiquities ministry reported.
The farmer found this ancient slab of sandstone while preparing his land for cultivation, about 62 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Cairo; he then contacted the Tourism and Antiquities Police about the discovery, the ministry statement said. The stela is 91 inches (230 centimeters) long, 41 inches (103 cm) wide and 18 inches (45 cm) thick.
At the top of the stela is a carving of a winged sun disk (a disk that was sometimes associated with the sun god Ra) with a cartouche of pharaoh Apries, with 15 lines of hieroglyphic writing below that, the statement said. Apries, also known as Wahibre Haaibre, reigned during the 26th dynasty of Egypt (688 B.C. to –525 B.C.), a time when Egypt was independent and its capital was often located at Sais in northern Egypt.

I was hoping it was a farmer in Iowa or somewhere else in the Midwest.
Properly deciphered it states:
“Drink more Oveltine”
Do you think the pharaoh erected the stone or ordered someone else to do it?
Maybe it says “Trump won”
Or…..
Pence is a traitor…
I think that is actually the other 5 commandments
Police needed to prevent devout members of the true religion of peace from destroying as a pagan artifact from id-jahhiliya (time of ignorance).
Poetic way to describe themselves, actually.
My first thought also.
Early form of ransom where?.
The last time is interesting, “Epstein didn’t kill himself.”
Thank you - I feel better knowing there are others out there :-)
