German archaeologists discover children’s footprints and painted murals near Qantir: Archaeologists working near modern Qantir, have discovered children’s footprints preserved in mortar and fragments of a large painted wall, both dated to roughly the era of Pharaoh Ramses II. There are some indications that a fresco technique, similar to that used by contemporary Mycenaean Greeks, might have been used by the ancient artisans to create the paintings that “may originally have decorated the entrance to a temple, a chapel, or were perhaps from a nearby palace,” the Art Newspaper says.
