Egypt….latest…
Posted on | March 1, 2010 | No Comments
They’ve recently dug this up in Egypt. It’s a superbly crafted pink-granite (really hard stone!) head of Amenhotep III who was Akenaten’s daddy and possibly Tutenkamun’s granddaddy – although those lineage details are still a bit iffy.
The face on the head isn’t damaged – something unusual on big carvings. They’ve already got most of the rest of this statue and it is hoped that it can be re-assembled.
Note that they’ve laid the head carefully on those padded pillows…well, sleeping it off is good when you’re permanently stoned.
