Ramesses II issued passport to get treatment

https://www.heritagedaily.com/2020/03/the-passport-of-ramesses-ii/126812

From the bizarre enough to be true column ..... Note the Birth day on the Passport ... 1303 BC lol

In 1976, his remains were issued an Egyptian passport (nearly 3 thousand years after his death) so that he could be transported to Paris for an irradiated treatment to prevent a fungoid growth.

Kinda makes you wonder how a Egyptian/French passport is printed in English, don't it?

They were a British holding till '22. Currently, the passports are in Arabic and English as far as I can find. Also, English is considered a universal language.

I still think it's faked. What corroborating documents did they use to establish his identity? A birth papyrus? Stone tablet? Chariot license?

Somebody ought to get Ol' Sheriff Joe on the case!

Really? You are going to take Steve Martin's word for it? Personally, I think he's a jerk.
