An incredible bronze sword with the emblem of Ramses the Great was also found, The Times reports.

Mohamed Ismail Khaled, the secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said that the barracks served as a “crucial military stronghold for the ancient Egyptian army on the western military road.”

They were used to guard Egypt’s “northwestern borders from attacks by Libyan tribes and Sea People”, he added.

Experts also found materials used in ancient Egypt with carvings revealing the names of Amun, the sky god and Ptah, the god of creation.

Other discoveries include necklaces with pomegranate designs and rings.
