Interesting for sure. Yet they're gone, and the Jews yet with us.

update:

Initial examinations revealed that the back of the statue is engraved with two columns of hieroglyphic text bearing different titles of king Amenhotep III, who ruled for 38 years during the 18th Dynasty. According to Sabri Abdel-Aziz, head of the SCA's Ancient Egypt Department, the inscriptions written on the statue also include a cartouche of a 21st Dynasty queen called Henutaw, which reveals that the same statue was used in a subsequent era.

Thank you for the post, Norm. I couldn't get your link to work, so I found one to National Geographic that has pictures of the "colossus" of Queen Ti.

This link works okay for me.

Ti is the symbol for titanium.
