Rescue excavators find Ramses II statues and engraved granite
Remains of two massive royal statues of King Ramses II and a block of pink granite bearing hieroglyphic inscriptions have been uncovered in Beheira Governorate during rescue excavations on land owned by a local citizen following his report. The discovery includes a large head measuring 1.60 meters in height, indicating a massive statue that may reach a full height of up to 8.5 meters, as well as another part of a statue estimated to be 2.40 meters long, showing the features of King Ramses II wearing a nemes headdress, although his legs are missing. The granite block, approximately 1.30 meters in length, bears inscriptions related to the royal titles "Nesu Bity" and "Sa-Ra." This discovery holds significant historical importance for the site of Hebeit al-Hijara, which is considered one of the important archaeological locations in the Egyptian Delta, and contributes to expanding knowledge about the history, architecture, and temples of ancient Egypt.
