Archaeologists discover missing top half of giant Ramesses II statue, solving century old puzzle
As per the latest development, archaeologists have discovered the upper segment of an enormous statue featuring the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II. Reports have it that it has been unearthed in the vicinity of the ancient city of Hermopolis (modern-day el-Ashmunein), approximately 155 miles (250 kilometers) south of Cairo.
Standing at an impressive height of about 12.5 ft (3.8 m), the stone artifact supposedly portrays Ramesses II, who reigned around 1279 to 1213 BC, adorned with a double crown and a headdress crowned with a royal cobra, as detailed in a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
The back of the statue is adorned with hieroglyphs that indicated detailing of the various titles of the king, contributing to the glorification of Ramesses II, as elucidated in the statement. Remarkably, the lower part of the statue had been discovered in 1930 by German archaeologist Günther Roeder. When united, the complete statue would have towered at a height of about 23 ft (7 m), the statement revealed.
