A colossal red granite head of one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs has been unearthed in the southern city of Luxor. The 3,000-year-old head of Amenhotep III - grandfather of Tutankhamun - was dug out of the ruins of the pharaoh's mortuary temple.
Experts say it's the best preserved example of the king's face ever found. The 2.5m (8ft) head is part of a larger statue, most of which was found several years ago.
