AMENHOTEP III ... NEW DISCOVERY....

I read an article today, Archaeologists unveil restored statue of pharaoh Amenhotep III after collapse more than 3,000 years ago that I thought you would be interested in reading also.

We discussed in class the amazing creations of ancient civilizations that stand today. Mother nature, not poor craftsmanship, caused this statue to be hidden for generations. In 1200BC an earthquake toppled the giant statue and broke it into pieces. The conservation of the statue and the Amenhotep III Temple is made possible by private donations.
