A joint Egyptian-American Archaeological Mission has uncovered the upper part of a large status of Ramesses II during excavations in Egypt’s Minya Governorate.

Ramesses II, commonly known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty during the New Kingdom period. His reign (1279–1213 BC) is often regarded as the most celebrated in Egypt’s history, marked by military campaigns and large construction projects.

The statue was found during excavations at the ancient city of Hermopolis, located near the boundary between Lower and Upper Egypt. Known as Khemenu during the Old Kingdom period, the city emerged as the provincial capital second only to Thebes.
