Archaeologists unveil two-thousand-year-old pharaoh Amenhotep III statues in Egypt

Two statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III have been unveiled in Luxor, Egypt.
The two monoliths in red quartzite were raised at what archaeologists said were their original sites in the funerary temple of the king, on the west bank of the Nile.
The statues join the famous, 3,400-year-old Memnon colossi - twin statues of Amenhotep III whose reign is believed to have marked the political and cultural zenith of ancient Egyptian civilisation
