A Farmer in Egypt Stumbled Upon a Pink Stone and Called the Authorities. They Found the Remains of Two Colossal Statues of Ramses II Beneath the Property
Farmer Khaled al-Shahat was working on his land in Egypt’s Nile Delta when he stumbled upon something unexpected in the dirt—a pink stone that appeared to be covered in hieroglyphic inscriptions. Realizing he might have found something special, he got in touch with authorities, who sent a team of archaeologists to investigate.
Now, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has revealed the full extent of Shahat’s chance discovery. In addition to the inscribed stone, they say they have unearthed the remains of two massive statues of pharaoh Ramses II from Shahat’s property.
