3 days agoDiscovery in Egypt linked to Biblical story of Moses
A fragment of a statue believed to depict Ramesses II, linked to the biblical Pharaoh in the Exodus story, was discovered in Egypt.
A vast $1bn museum billed as the world's largest archaeological facility dedicated to a single civilisation will open outside Cairo on Saturday, after countless delays over the course of its two-decade construction. The Grand Egyptian Museum, located a mile away from the pyramids of Giza, covers an area of 470,000 sq metres. The complex was announced in 1992 but it was not until 2005 that construction began.
