Saving the Prop
Overall, the prop set had been buried for 94 years, so the first head crumbled when people touched it. The next time, archaeologists used foam spread to strengthen the head’s interior so that they could get it out of the sand.

That head might not have come from the ancient Egyptian desert, but it’s a part of history for Hollywood. Movie sets in the Golden Age don’t exist anymore. Therefore, to find unknown scraps hiding under sand dunes makes it historical for everyone!
