'The discovery of a giant statue of King Amenhotep III appears from underground!'
In 2013, a private farmland in the Kom al-Hitan area revealed a buried secret. Two statues of King Amenhotep III, one of Egypt's great kings, were found. The statue shows the king in a majestic standing position, up to 14 meters high and weighing about 100 tons.
These statues are among the tallest to be found in Egypt, and reflect the power and glory enjoyed by King Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt for about 40 years in the 14th century BC. Scientists believe that the statue was part of a huge temple complex that honored the king and the gods.
The statues were smashed and buried later in history, perhaps due to invasions, revolutions or earthquakes. However, the statue still retains some of its magnificent details, such as the face, crown and beard. A team of archaeologists and engineers worked to restore and restore the statue, until they were re-stood 3,000 years later.
