Mideast Egypt Antiquities

This undated photo released by Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities on Thursday, March 5, 2009, shows a statue of ancient pharaoh Amenhotep III which was found by an excavation team clearing out a temple dedicated to the pharaoh, on the west bank of the Nile in the southern city of Luxor, in Egypt. A team of Egyptian and European archaeologists has discovered two large statues of Amenhotep III who ruled Egypt some 3,400 years ago, the country’s archaeology chief Zahi Hawass said Thursday.
