Linda's News letter
When we change our habits, we change our bodies. When we change our bodies, we change our lives.
Archaeologists have discovered ancient Egyptian coins bearing the name and image of the Biblical Joseph, Cairo's Al Ahram newspaper recently reported. Excerpts provided by MEMRI show that the coins were discovered among a multitude of unsorted artifacts stored at the Museum of Egypt.
According to the report, the significance of the field is that archaeologists have found scientific evedence countering the claim held by some historians that coins were not used for trade in ancient Egypt, and that this was done through barter instead.
The period in which Joseph was regarded to have lived in Egypt matches the minting of the coins in the cache, researchers said.
"A thorough examination revealed that the coins bore the year in which they were minted and their value, or effigies of the pharaohs (who ruled) at the time of their minting. Some of the coins are from the time when Joseph lived in Egypt and bear his name and portrait."
