Colossal Statue of Ramesses II.

Some scholars believe Ramesses II had a penchant for ordering older statues to be modified to display his name. Years ago, some believed this very sculpture showed some signs of modification, but now scholars believe it simply took some damage when it was moved during antiquity. This version of Ramesses wears the traditional royal headdress with a false beard.
