A Colossal Pharaoh Rumor: Carter’s 1920s Find

More than 100 years ago, Howard Carter, the discoverer of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, became a legend in the world of archaeology. However, secret documents and rumors linked to Carter’s excavations have recently emerged, causing a stir. According to recent articles and unconfirmed materials, Carter may have discovered a colossal statue of a pharaoh that had never been recorded.

Rumors Originated in Lost Documents

Rumors about this discovery originated from personal entries in Carter’s diary, which mention “a huge statue buried under a deep layer of sand near the Valley of the Kings.” According to speculation, this statue would measure up to 20 meters high, carved from black granite and decorated with gold, leaving a deep impression of power and greatness.

These notes quickly disappeared from public archives, and some researchers suspect that Egyptian authorities intervened to prevent a possible upheaval in the scientific community. A 1950 article even mentioned “a colossal statue hidden during Carter’s excavations in the Valley of the Kings,” but it was soon forgotten.

Which Pharaoh is this about?

Leading theories revolve around this statue could belong to a little-known pharaoh, possibly one erased from official history or linked to a turbulent period in Egyptian history. In the annotations, the statue is described as bearing imposing symbols, with a solemn face and marks of divinity.

Doubts and Skepticism

Nothing is certain about the authenticity of these rumors. Many researchers believe this could just be exaggerated stories or misunderstandings. However, the mysterious disappearance of documents related to Howard Carter has added to the aura of mystery.

A group of archaeologists is calling on Egypt to open its stored archives to reassess lost documents. Could there be a colossal statue buried under the sand waiting to be rediscovered? Or are these stories just a product of imagination?
