"Researchers in Egypt just uncovered the long-lost top half of an enormous limestone statue of Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt's most celebrated rulers. The previously missing portion of the statue stands over 12 feet tall and depicts Ramses II's head, shoulders, and upper torso. He is shown wearing a double crown known as a pschent, signifying the ancient pharaoh's dominion over Egypt, as well as a uraeus, a headdress associated with the goddess Wadjet. When put back together with its lower half — which was discovered in the same area in 1930 by German archaeologists — the statue is expected to be roughly 23 feet tall.⁠"
