The mystery of an “impossible” ancient Egyptian sculpture depicting two individuals, one of them a pharaoh, may now be solved, according to a researcher.
Not everyone agrees with the new assessment, however.
The 3D sculpture, carved out of limestone, shows the statue of a pharaoh seated on the lap of a kneeling person. The statue of the pharaoh is not life size, and is shown wearing a blue crown (sometimes called a war crown) with an uraeus (a snake) on top of it. The artwork is now housed in National Museums Scotland.
