A farmer spotted a pink stone and called it in

A farmer in Egypt's Nile Delta spotted a pink stone in his dirt and reported it to the authorities, who then dug up two colossal statues of Ramses II from beneath his land. Khaled al-Shahat noticed the stone was covered in hieroglyphs and called it in rather than keeping quiet. Archaeologists later found a five-foot-tall head they believe once topped a statue standing nearly 28 feet, plus part of a second figure wearing a striped royal headcloth. Ramses II ruled ancient Egypt from 1279 to 1213 B.C.E. and built more monuments than any pharaoh before or after him. The inscribed granite block that started it all bears the title "Sa-Ra," meaning son of Ra. The site sits in Behbeit El-Hagar, a village about 80 miles north of Cairo. "They told me this might change the history of the area," Shahat told CBS News. He was, by his own account, surprised and happy.
