Discoverer of Ramses II Statue Reflects on Recognition
Khaled El-Shahat, who discovered the remains of two massive royal statues—one of which is of Ramses II—stated that he was honored for his honesty and proper conduct after reporting the discovery. The Minister of Tourism and Antiquities gifted him a pilgrimage to Mecca, and he expressed pride and satisfaction with this recognition, emphasizing the importance of ethics when dealing with antiquities. The find includes a large head of Ramses II measuring up to 1.60 meters in height, along with other fragments believed to belong to the same king. These discoveries raise questions about the presence of royal statues in the area and may challenge previous historical notions.
