Ancient Ramses II statues found in Nile Delta
Remains of two massive statues, believed to be of King Ramses II, have been uncovered in the village of Behbit al-Hagar in the Gharbia Governorate of Egypt. The archaeological team discovered a head of a statue measuring 1.60 meters in height, adorned with the double crown. The size of the head suggests that the original statue could have reached a height of up to 8.5 meters. Additionally, a second statue measuring 2.40 meters was found, missing its legs, and wearing the Nemes headdress. There was also a pink granite block engraved with royal titles. Ramses II is one of the most famous kings of ancient Egypt, reigning for 67 years, during which he experienced a period of strength and prosperity. The discovery aims to study the relationship between these pieces and the history of the region.
