Archaeologists from Egypt and Germany
have found a massive eight-meter statue submerged in ground water in a Cairo
slum that they say probably depicts revered Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt
more than 3,000 years ago. The discovery, hailed by the Antiquities Ministry as
one of the most important ever, was made near the ruins of Ramses II's temple
in the ancient city of Heliopolis, located in the eastern part of modern-day
Cairo.
"Last Tuesday they called me to
announce the big discovery of a colossus of a king, most probably Ramses II,
made out of quartzite," Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anani told Reuters
on Thursday at the site of the statue's unveiling.
"We found the bust of the statue
and the lower part of the head and now we removed the head and we found the
crown and the right ear and a fragment of the right eye," Anani said. On
Thursday (Mar.9) , archaeologists, officials, local residents, and members of
the news media looked on as a massive forklift pulled the statue's head out of
the water. The joint Egyptian-German expedition also found the upper part of a
life-sized limestone statue of Pharaoh Seti II, Ramses II's grandson, that is
80 centimeters long.
The
cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Of these the
Capricorn Ingress has a special place and is considered by many to be the annual chart. Shown here is the Capricorn
Ingress chart for Cairo, Egypt. Of special interest here is the
Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-square aligned with the angles. Among other things we
associate this combination with scientific discoveries that bring hidden things
to light. More specifically here, Uranus on the Ascendant is conjunct stars in
King Cepheus’ head and neck!
If
we progress the ingress chart to March 9, the combination once again appears on
the angles and is thereby triggered.
