3,200-year-old full-body statue upper part of Ramses II found in Minya province, Egypt.

Egyptian-U.S. archaeologists have discovered the upper part of a 3,200-year-old full-body statue of Ramses II, a pharaoh from the 19th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. The 3.8-meter-high limestone bust, found in Minya province, matches the lower part of the statue unearthed in 1930. Once combined, the entire statue will stand at 7 meters tall, depicting Ramses II wearing a double-crowned headdress with a royal cobra.
