That should pose quite a few riddles for archaeologists.
Glad they're being careful, but it would be nice to see more detail. Looks like fragments of a broken statue of a standing pharaoh, something like that, and given its locale, probably 18th dynasty. OTOH, the 18th (e.g. Hatshepsut) strongly identified with Middle Kingdom and even Old Kingdom ruins and pharaohs, understandable since the 2nd intermediate period saw Egypt under foreign rule for centuries.
In one of those fast-moving and pretty pointless new-style Egypt documentaries a French team was shown excavating under one of Hatshepsut's obelisks (not the smartest idea, btw) why I don't know, and they uncovered a seated colossal statue of one of the Middle Kdm pharaohs, apparently deliberately buried as a sort of foundation deposit. I think it was one of the Sobekhoteps. Her famous temple at Deir el bahari stands right next to a much earlier temple by one of the Mentuhoteps.
