March 10 (UPI) -- Archaeologists found parts of a statue believed to be of King Ramses II, who ruled Egypt 3,000 years ago, at a Cairo archaeological dig, the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry announced.
Two sections -- a head and a torso -- were discovered last week in ground water by a German-Egyptian archaeological mission in Matariya, a suburb of Cairo. Around 1200 B.C., the king built a temple there when the city was known as Heliopolis.
