A broken statue with the name of King Sahure, a pharaoh who ruled nearly 4,500 years ago, has been excavated in Egypt by Belgian archaeologists. Little is known of King Sahure, who reigned during the Old Kingdom’s Fifth Dynasty.
The find is “of great significance and importance,” said the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, particularly as there are only two other intact statues that exist of Sahure. The team of Belgian archaeologists intend to continue excavating in the area with the aim of finding other artifacts pertaining to Sahure.
The other two known statues of Sahure still intact are on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and New York’s Metropolitan Museum.
