Archaeologists in Egypt find a statue. It is very old and very big. They move it at night when the roads are empty.

It is of a torso. It weighs three tons. It is probably a statue of a very famous pharaohs in Egypt. Historians think that it is a statue of Ramses II. He rules Egypt for 60 years over 3000 years ago.

They want to put the parts of the statue together at the Egyptian museum in Cairo. An Egyptian-German archaeological team discovers the statue.

Difficult words: torso (a body without a head, arm and legs), probably (maybe yes, maybe no), rule (be a king or a queen), discover (find).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
