An Egyptian excavation described a "scimeter," with a picture so labeled:

:The warrior was put into his tomb in a supine slightly contracted position with his head towards the entrance. On his left hand was found an amethyst scarab; possibly belonging to a now lost ring. He was buried with his weapons and an assemblage of different pottery types. Bones of goats or sheep placed on a dish next to his head are remains of a meat offering. He wore a copper belt with an attached dagger with five middle ribs on his left side. In his arms he held a scimitar still in its sheath.<ref>Irene Forstner-Mueller, "[http://homepage.univie.ac.at/elisabeth.trinkl/forum/forum0999/12tell.htm Recent find of a warrior tomb with a servant burial] in area A/II at Tell el-Dab'a in the Eastern Nile Delta," ''Forum Archaeologiae'' 12/IX/99 (http://farch.tsx.org/forum0999/12tell.htm).</ref>
