Standing 11 metres tall and weighing 75 tonnes, the statue was presented in a floodlit ceremony at the Luxor Temple on the banks of the Nile on Tuesday evening. When the statue was discovered between 1958 and 1960, it was in 57 pieces.

Muslim Brotherhood'll just blow it up. 

Remember when they were in charge and wanted to blow up the pyramids?

Evidently they did.  The archaeologists found the pieces and put it back together.

Egypt is much, much more than the great pyramids. It is an incredible place, with multiple ancient cities/archaeological sites along the Nile.

If it ever becomes safe enough again...go.

Pre-Obammy's Islamist Arab Spring, Egypt tried their hardest to be secular and thrived on tourism.

Now? Yeah...about that.
