Missing Ramesses II statue part found after 94 years
Archaeologists have reunited the missing upper half of a colossal statue of Ramesses II, which was originally discovered in 1930 but had remained separated for 94 years. The upper section, found in early 2024, was confirmed to belong to the same monument as the lower part, and after restoration completed in early 2026, the complete statue now stands approximately 22 feet tall and weighs over 40 tons. The restored statue is placed at the original site in front of the northern entrance of the ancient temple at El-Ashmunein, symbolizing a significant breakthrough in Egypt's archaeological history.
