A second big archaeological discovery in less than a week is topping the foreign headlines on Egypt this morning: Following last week’s hidden tomb in the Great Pyramid, archaeologists have unearthed a “smiley, dimpled” Sphinx statue in Qena’s Temple of Dendera. The artifact is thought to depict Roman emperor Claudius. The Associated Press, AFP and WION all took note. Meanwhile, DW has a piece out on the hidden chamber.

MEANWHILE- Voice of America had coverage of our economic woes and AFP covered the mass sentencing of 14 people to jail, including lawyers and rights activists, on terrorism charges.
