A fresh archeological discovery catches the attention of the international press

It’s an archeology-heavy morning for Egypt in the foreign pages: The Washington Post and CBS News are out with pieces on the recent discovery of a bronze sword with the insignia of Ramses II in Beheira. The archeological mission also uncovered oven mitts, ivory applicators for kohl eyeliner, and ceremonial scarab beetles. Meanwhile, Greco-Roman Museum in Alexandria got a mention in the National ’s deep dive into Alexandria and its journey from “the summer playground for Egypt's rich and powerful” to “an overcrowded city of 8 mn.”
