Background

Archaeologists have unearthed the massive head of one Egypt's most famous pharoahs who ruled nearly 3,400 years ago, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities announced Sunday.

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.

The head is part of a larger statue found several years ago and Sourouzian believes its ceremonial beard is still buried somewhere nearby.

I tried to figure out if they found this particular beard for about an hour now and I think it's going to be tough to settle this at some point. There are several statues of him in this area which makes it difficult to sort out which beard belongs to which statue.
