Too bad Egypt is too dangerous to visit.

That statue is massive! I hope they can find all the pieces and put him together again.

That was the ‘practice’ statue. They are digging in the 4000 year old Cairo city dump.

Well, you find a really big rock, take out your hammer and chisel, and get to work.
It’s always been there. Cairo just grew up, over and around it.

Just in time for ISIS to blow it up.

What a dump! there is garbage everywhere!

I've never understood how pieces like this, or other lost "things" become lost. The areas have been continually populated. How could their existence be forgotten, lost, not recorded ?
Sally Hemmings dwelling just came to light last week underneath Monticello, iirc.

What is believed to have been her chamber, behind a staircase, iirc.
The world is very messy, and it can be hard to find things if you aren’t looking for them. I was listening to a recording about South American archaeology just a few minutes ago (driving home from Walmart), and the lecturer said he had been mapping the Maya city of Palenque when a farmer came up and asked, “Would you like to see the largest building in Palenque?”
“Sure,” Dr. Barnhart said, and the farmer led him a few hundred yards into the jungle and pointed to a hill. “There it is,” he said, and sure enough it was, unnoticed by archaeologists working in Palenque for a century.

King Tut himself, warned the Egyptocrats about building
those Section 8 apartments so close to ‘treasured’ monuments.
Who wants to risk a drive-by flogging just to see
the statue of a famous dead guy or a lower level
god, for that matter?

That statue is massive! I hope they can find all the pieces and put him together again. No No No, haven't you watched any of the Mummy or other Egyptian God movies? Once the statue is reconstructed and the final piece is connected it will come to life and start rampaging through the streets destroying everything in its path.
Hmmm on second thought.....
