Must see! Archeologist unearth a massive head of Pharoah!

Written By Appleconnect on Mar 10, 2010 | 9:46 AM


Archaeologists have unearthed a massive red granite head of one Egypt's most famous pharaohs who ruled nearly 3,400 years ago.

The head of Amenhotep III, which alone is about the height of a person, was dug out of the ruins of the pharaoh's mortuary temple in the southern city of Luxor.

The leader of the expedition that discovered the head described it as the best preserved sculpture of Amenhotep III's face found to date.


The head is part of a larger statue found several years ago, along with the parts of the body, the back slab, and the ceremonial beard which Souruzian says will soon be connected with the head.

But if he may have looked exactly as this statue so he may have been a very beautiful, very handsome man, and surely very CRUEL!
