Obama: Ancient Egyptian Carving "Looks Like Me"

Advertisement

Giza, Egypt (CBS) -- One of the last stops on his tour of Egypt, President Barack Obama toured the Great Pyramids of Giza and found an ancient carving he said resembled his face.

Obama commented light-heartedly that the hieroglyph looked like him. He said there was something about this particular one and grinned.

He even called aides over to take a look as he toured Giza, Egypt. Judge for yourself, and leave a comment.

While touring the ancient pyramids, Obama stood in awe at the massive structures, yelling, "This thing is huge!" with his voice echoing off the stones of the largest of them.

Earlier in his trip, Obama spoke at Cairo University after meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on the second stop of a four-nation trip to the Middle East and Europe.

The president's brief stay in Cairo included a visit to the Sultan Hassan mosque, a 600-year-old center of Islamic worship and study.
