A group of archaeologists from Egypt made an impressive discovery near the Temple of Hathor, one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in the south of the country, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said on Monday.
This is a figure of a smiling sphinx with dimples on its face.
A limestone artifact thought to be a stylized image of an ancient Roman emperor was found inside a two-tiered tomb near a temple in southern Egypt, the ministry said in a statement.
Along with the “beautifully and accurately carved” sphinx, the researchers found a “Roman stele written in demotic and hieroglyphic script,” the ministry said in a statement.
Once fully deciphered, the stele may shed light on the identity of the sculpted ruler, who an Egyptian research team believes could be Emperor Claudius.
