Archaeologists in the Bahbit Al-Higara region have unearthed the remains of two massive statues depicting the pharaoh Ramses II. The discovery was initiated after a local resident reported an inscribed granite block, prompting a swift intervention by the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA).
The rescue excavation revealed significant statuary fragments that provide new insights into the historical and cultural importance of the Bahbit Al-Higara site. Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy praised the discovery as a vital addition to the nation's archaeological record, emphasizing the importance of community participation in heritage preservation.
