Scientific committee in Egypt recommends dismantling Ramesses II statue
The committee also recommended studying the feasibility of dismantling the restored section atop the statue’s base, so long as it is confirmed that doing so will not impact the original part of the statue.
If the missing original parts are not found, an archaeological study will be conducted to determine their probable form and proportions, followed by an assessment of the archaeological feasibility of completing the statue, in accordance with international laws and charters governing restoration work.
Furthermore, the committee recommended conducting laboratory analyses on samples taken from the statue’s base—a section still in its original position—and comparing them with samples from the blocks used in the restoration.
