It was a real head of state.

An Egyptian farmer allegedly struck gold after inadvertently coming upon the remains of a royal statue of Ramses II — the pharaoh who allegedly challenged Moses in the Bible.

The watershed discovery was set in motion after a villager reportedly uncovered a carved stone block while tilling the land in front of his home in Behbeit El Hagar, in Gharbia province, the Egyptian Gazette reported.

He reportedly flagged the local antiquities officials, after which a team working for the Supreme Council of Antiquities launched an excavation, according to Heritage Daily.

What they exhumed blew their minds.

The treasure trove reportedly includes an over 5-foot-tall head of Ramses II that’s depicted sporting the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.

Judging by the size of the noggin, archaeologists projected that the entire statue measured over 27 feet tall, including the base.

Archaeologists also unearthed a second, smaller royal statue that measured just under eight feet tall.

While the figure’s legs and base were missing, its face was clearly visible and bordered by nemes, the striped royal headdress worn by ancient Egyptian pharaohs.

These characteristics, along with the fact that the visage resembled the other statue, suggested that it was also a Ramses II facsimile.

Also uncovered was a 4-foot-high block of pink granite containing fragments of hieroglyphic inscriptions proclaiming the pharaoh “Nesu Beti”, meaning King of Upper and Lower Egypt, and “Sa Ra”, meaning Son of Ra.

Born in 1303 BC, Ramses II is widely considered one of the most influential and powerful Egyptian kings of Egypt’s New Kingdom era (1570 to circa 1069 B.C.).

The ruler is also popularly linked to the story of Moses in the biblical Book of Exodus, even though the holy text doesn’t mention him by name.

In the scripture, the tyrannical pharaoh enslaved the Israelites and defied Moses, thereby incurring God’s wrath.

Sherif Fathy, Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, said that the findings will hopefully contribute to a greater understanding of this region of the Nile Delta, which was a political, cultural and economic stronghold in ancient Egypt.

The officials hope that further studies will help shed light on the statues and the architectural evolution of the repository during the epoch in question
