GGG Ping.

No picture of the Nubian statue, the article only had this statue of King Amenhotep III

Amenhotep III

The block is about two metres high, and weighs approximately five tons.

Heck, Belzoni probably just carried it off under his arm to retrieve it later. 8^)

I am not quite sure what is so puzzling about this since we know that Eygpt had pharoahs from Nubia from time to time.

It's kind of small but NH has been in the market for a granite head since we lost "the Old Man" a few years ago.

This is an old topic, beats me why I never pinged it as one of "those" topics.
