The statue of Pharaoh Ramesses II was discovered at Hermopolis Magna, an ancient city located in the Minya Governorate, about 241 km south of Cairo. This site lies within modern-day Egypt, a country known for its rich archaeological heritage and ancient civilization. The discovery of the missing upper portion of the statue in 2024 completed a puzzle that had remained unsolved since 1930, when only the lower half was found. Egypt continues to be a major center for archaeological exploration, revealing valuable insights into the reign of powerful pharaohs like Ramesses II and the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture.
