Archeologists in Egypt have unearthed a giant head sculpture of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, King Tut's grandfather, who ruled the country almost 3,400 years ago. The amazing discovery was made through excavation efforts inside the pharaoh's mortuary temple in southern Egypt. The other sections of the statue had been previously discovered and archeologists hope to be able to attach the different parts and reunite them once again.
