A fortress from the reign of the Egyptian pharaoh, popularly although not definitively associated with the book of Exodus when the Israelites were enslaved, has been discovered by archaeologists.

According to Biblical Archaeology, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities confirmed the finding from the era of Ramesses II (1279 - 1213 BC), known as Ramesses the Great, and located Northwest of the Nile Delta, 60 miles South of Alexandria.

Biblical Archaeology detailed the fortress discovered as a barracks with warehouses for storing weapons and foods. All the mudbrick buildings were grouped into two sides.
