3000-year-old statue discovered in Cairo gives experts glimpse at pharaoh we knew almost nothing about

When you think of ‘the past,’ you might think back to a few decades ago, or when your great-great-great-parents were going about their daily business. However, history is so much more than that. The world has been around for much longer than we may realize, and some of our daily routines and practices can actually be traced back thousands of years. Of course, there are so many different eras to explore, but Ancient Egypt is perhaps one of the most remarkable and the most intriguing.
While these ancient people may have roamed this planet around 5,000 years ago, we still have only just started to piece together how this colossal civilization lived their lives. Their kingdoms lasted for over 2,000 years, so how do we still know so little? Well, this discovery of a 3,000-year-old statue in Cairo could be one of the most important discoveries of all time.

It’s believed that those in Ancient Egypt first made their mark on the world around 5,000 years ago, and although these Pharaohs reigned over their people for more than 2,000 years, very little is known about them. Over the years, historical experts and archeologists alike have dedicated their lives to understanding their practices, their religions, their construction techniques, their languages, and their way of life, and we have been able to piece together rather large pieces of the puzzle.

However, there are still gaps in our knowledge, and these people are now trying to scour the country of Egypt to find these missing pieces. Many of these pieces have been found over the years, but perhaps one of the most impressive links in the chain was found in 2017. After running numerous tests and analyzing this statue found within the slums of Cairo, we now know even more about this ancient civilization.
