Ruined Colossus of Ramses II Found in Cairo Slum

Archeologists believe they have found a large statue of the Pharaoh of Moses’ time, Ramses II,  in what was once the ancient city of the Egyptian gods, Heliopolis, which is now a slum of Cairo.

They also believe they’ve found a statue of Ramses II’s grandson, Seti II.  Both are being recovered and will most likely be put on display at the Grand Egyptian Museum next year.

Ramses II ruled 3,000 years ago and this is where his likeness ended up.  Makes me wonder what will become of Lincoln and our other monuments in D.C.

Ramses was also known as Ozymandias which was the basis of a very famous English poem

  1. Yep … that’s Ramses’ ear … no doubt about it!

    “… Heliopolis, which is now a slum of Cairo.”

    How can you tell? The whole fuckin city’s a slum.

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. If they don’t give a shit about their own culture, then why should we bend over backwards to accommodate these Muzzie extremists?

    Looks like another decapitated head again — doing what they always do…

  3. My assumption is that head was attached to a large statue, at one time. The body of the statue may have been destroyed by any of the invaders, i.e. Romans,British, French etc.

  4. Was that Beavis or Butthead?

    If I commissioned a self portrait and the artist came back with that and I was pharaoh…

    Oh boy there’d be trouble. Even if didn’t look like the young and handsome Cary grant you’d better make your pharaoh look like that. I don’t wanna look like zippy the pinhead.

  5. Yea it does look like an Alien head, at least they coulda shared some of those giant brains with the Muslims. You don’t think they couldv’e built Pyramids etc with Muslim brains do you ? Have they Devolved , I think it’s actually possible with generations In-Breeding .
    MMM-MMm …Sister smells of woman again today !!!

  6. The entire city of Cairo’s a slum ? lol

    Egypt is a slum, no, the entire Middle East is a slum.
    Soon to be engulfing the continent formerly known as Europe.
