Missing Head of Colossal Ramesses II Statue Discovered

I recently read an article from our friends at Patterns of Evidence who reported on the recent finding of much of the upper half of the colossal Rameses statue, (the base was originally found in 1930). The missing head, partial torso, and left arm of the limestone statue of Rameses were found at the archaeological site of El Ashmunein (Khemnu or Khomeno, as the city was called in Rameses��� time) in middle Egypt.
