Two pharaohs, one statue: A tale of mistaken identity?

A colossus recently found in Matariya, a working-class neighborhood in Cairo, has proven tricky to identify.
Shortly after the 26-foot tall statue was unearthed on March 7, it was identified as Pharaoh Ramses II, one of ancient Egypt’s best-known rulers, but now Cairo officials say it likely portrays Psamtik I, a lesser-known pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty.
If confirmed, the piece would be the largest statue of the Late Period ever discovered.
