Ramses II statue at met rahena Museum
When that statue was discovered in 1820, Muhammad Ali Pasha, the governor of Egypt at that time, gave the statue to the British Museum, but the museum apologized for accepting the gift.
"Despite the magnificence of the statue, they could not find a way to transport it due to its huge weight and size
Britain was the master of the world at that time, and under its hand, fleets of ships were blocked by the sea! ... Despite this, it was unable to find a safe way to transport it, because the statue, in its full size, weighs nearly 100 tons.
In Egypt, they found that cutting and transporting it was very costly
They saw that it was easier and better to leave it in its place and set up a museum around it with a dead hostage.
This statue, which engineer Christopher Dunn saw in the 1990s and noticed something fleeting.
Notice that the two nostrils of the statue are identical, and this motivated him to conduct a study on the statue's face in 2005 and prove a complete cemetery in the face of the huge statue, that is, the complete symmetry between the two halves of the face.
This made him exclude his carving with hammers and chisels, and that there is another means by which the statue was carved that has not been revealed yet.
