ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed the massive head of one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs who ruled nearly 3,400 years ago, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities announced yesterday.
The head of Amenhotep III, which alone is about the height of a person, was found in the ruins of the pharaoh's mortuary temple in the southern city of Luxor.
The Egyptian-European expedition under the guidance of German-Armenian archaeologist Hourig Sourouzian has been excavating the temple near the famous seated colossi of Memnon for the last several years. It's part of a larger statue found several years ago and Sourouzian believes its ceremonial beard is still buried somewhere nearby.
