Sculpture of Pharaoh Ramses II found in Egypt

Archaeologists in Egypt have found statues of several pharaohs during excavations at the Temple of the Sun Mataria in Heliopol. Including a sculpture of ancient Egypt's mighty ruler Ramses II (1279-1213 BC), writes MailOnline.

"The temple was founded by Ramses II, so it's no surprise that the shrine has his pedestal," the report says.

Other statues depict Ramses IX (1126 - 1108 BC), Horemheb (1323 - 1295 BC) and Psammetichus II (595 - 589 BC).

Scientists have also found a sculpture of a pharaoh whose identity has yet to be identified. Preliminary estimates put the age of this statue at around four thousand years.
