Ancient Egyptian statue surfaces in Nile Delta

A resident of a village in the Nile Delta, Egypt, discovered a carved stone with hieroglyphs near his home and reported it to authorities.

Subsequent excavations revealed remains of two royal colossal statues. Researchers believe the discovery connects to a pharaoh often associated with the story of the Exodus. The statues measure 8.5 meters in length. Archaeologists continue to investigate the site and its implications for understanding ancient Egyptian history.
