The Egyptian authorities have arrested three persons for trying to steal a massive statue of Pharaoh Ramses the great.
The three persons were trying to use a crane to lift the giant statue. Authorities discovered digging tools on them. These tools were to be used for excavating the statue.
The statue of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II, normally known as Ramses the Great to differentiate him from the two other ancient Pharaohs of the same title, was made about 3000 years ago and weighs about 20 tonnes.
The pharaoh is credited with the construction of some of the largest monuments in Egypt. He built the Ramesseum which is located in the city of Luxor. He also built a large temple in the city of Abu Simbel.
Pharaoh Ramses the Great was married to the famous Nefertiti, regarded as the most beautiful woman during the time. The Pharaoh died in 1212 BC.
