Archaeologists in Egypt recently uncovered a massive statue believed to depict King Ramses II, the pharaoh believed to be a major character in the Old Testament. The statue was found at the Tel Pharaoh site in Husseiniya Center, Sharqia Governorate, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said on April 22. The site is in Egypt’s Nile Delta, northeast of Cairo. Officials also described the statue as “remarkable” in size, weighing between 5 and 6 tons and measuring over 7 feet long.
