Egyptian farmer Mohamed (cucumber farmer) finds statue fragments in a field in the Nile Delta, leading archaeologists to uncover remains of two colossal royal statues and associated ancient inscriptions. The discoveries include fragments believed to depict Ramses II, along with a pink granite block inscribed with hieroglyphs.
Outlets report that the inscriptions include titles attributed to Ramses II, such as “Nesu-Bity” (King of Upper and Lower Egypt), and other elements that help link the finds to his reign. Euronews emphasizes the role of the farmer in guiding the archaeological work and notes that researchers are examining how the fragments relate to the local history and setting in the Delta. Other coverage focuses more directly on the specific inscriptions visible on the granite block and the identification of the statue fragments.
