A farmer has paid tribute to the 100-year anniversary of Tutankhamun’s tomb being found by carving a gigantic image of the late pharaoh into a field of maize.
The image is said to be the equivalent of eight Wembley football pitches and, at more than 100m in diameter, the head of the giant figure is bigger than the Royal Albert Hall. The maze was officially opened on Friday, with Mr Pearcy saying: “I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt and the lives of the pharaohs.
