Dr. Dafna Ben-Tor, curator of Ancient Egypt at the Israel Museum, identified the seal as a scarab amulet from the New Kingdom, the period stretching from the 16th-11th centuries BCE.

According to Ben-Tor, the amulet shows “shows King Pharaoh Thutmose III seated on the throne” alongside the monarch’s name, she said.

It was Thutmose, who ruled Egypt from 1379-1425 BCE, expanded his empire to encompass the land of Canaan, defeating a Canaanite army in Megiddo which is memorialized in huge bas-reliefs on the walls of Karnak temple in Egypt.

Tangible evidence of Egyptian control of Canaan during the New Kingdom period.

Submitted to show the difference between tangible evidence and holy horseshit, which is all the fundies ever seem capable of trotting out.

How unfortunate for the literalists.

By "unfortunate" I mean something entirely different, of course.
