Here is the rewritten text: Ling-Fei Lin created a 3D model and restored the colors of an ancient Egyptian statue, supervised by Mohamed Abdelaziz. The statue, located at the Brooklyn Museum, is identified as 39.423 and dates back to around 1279-1213 B.C.E. Made from sandstone, it measures 66 5/16 x 34 5/16 x 7 5/16 inches. Photos for the model were taken by Steve Vinson, Chris Davidson, Ling-Fei Lin on June 28th, 2019. The Brooklyn Museum provided a shortened description of the statue: "The upper part depicts Ramesses II standing on the right as he receives the insignia of kingship from Amun, while Mut stands behind him. Five rows of hieroglyphs are visible below... At the base of the stela are two cartouches topped with disks and flanked by a pair of Rhykhet birds." The hieroglyphs reveal the king's five names: Horus name - kꜢ-nḫt mri-rꜤ (The strong bull, beloved of Ra), Nebty name - mk-kmt wꜤf-Ḥswt (Protector of Egypt who curbs foreign lands), Golden Horus name - wsr-rnpwt ꜤꜢ-nḫtw (Rich in years, great in victories), Throne name (nsw-bity name) - wsr-mꜢꜤt-rꜤ stp.n(y)-rꜤ: The truth of Ra is powerful, chosen of Ra, and Birth name (Son of Ra name): rꜤ-msi-sw mri-imn - Ramesses (Ra has made him), beloved of Amun.
