This is the colossal statue of Ramses II or Ramses the Great in Memphis - a statue that was so enormous and also, quite fragile since its base and legs were already broken off by the time it was found, that instead of trying to move it, they rather built the museum around it. This way, it is still where it originally stood at the southern gate of the Great Temple of Ptah, patron deity of Memphis 🏛️ You can currently see it in the 📍 Memphis Open Air Museum 🧡 #ancientegypt #visitegypt #hiddenge

Colossal squid mystery: Why adults stay hidden beneath the waves

Colossal Biosciences built an artificial egg from scratch - and it's already hatching chicks. The company plans to use the technology to resurrect the New Zealand giant moa, a 3-metre tall bird extinct for 600 years, whose eggs were the size of rugby balls. If you can grow a bird embryo inside an artificial egg, you can gene-edit that embryo before it hatches, giving you a path to resurrect extinct species and rescue endangered ones without depending on natural eggs. It removes the single bigges

Replying to @Tee Bear945 The Colossus of Rhodes is very fun because we know everything about it except for how it looked! #archaeology #history #ancienthistory #statue #rhodes
