New Old Statue of Amenhotep III Found
During a routine excavation at the funerary temple of the 18th Dynasty king, Amenhotep III (c. 1390-1352 BC), at Kom el-Hettan area on Luxor’s west bank, the mission of the Colossi of Memnon and Amenhotep III Temple Conservation Project unearthed an alabaster colossus of the great king. The team has also discovered the head of a deity, as well as restoring a stele and a statue head of the same king. [Ahram Online
I assume this is a new discovery. With the common multiple announcements of the same thing, it’s sometimes hard to tell what’s new news and what’s old news. I think this is new news.
