Supreme Council Studies Lost Ramses II Temple
The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities confirmed the discovery of two large statues of King Ramesses II in the Bahbit El-Hagar area in Gharbia Governorate, near the Isis Temple dating back to the late Egyptian dynasties around 300-330 BC. One of the statues is complete with its head and crown, while the other bears the double crown; their heights could reach up to 10 meters if intact. Their presence raises questions about the possible existence of an earlier temple dedicated to Ramesses II at the site, especially since the area includes a temple dedicated to Isis. Currently, excavation work is underway to study the site and transfer the statues to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, aiming to better understand the significance and perhaps the history of a missing or demolished temple that is believed to date from the era of Ramesses II or the Nectanebo II dynasty.
