PARIS (AP) — Three giant Egyptian statues submerged in the Mediterranean for more than a millennium have gone on display at Paris’ Arab World Institute.

The museum erected the granite monuments Friday as a preview of its exhibition “Osiris: Mysteries of Submerged Egypt,” opening Sept. 8. The show features nearly 300 artifacts, most of them discovered in the underwater excavations of French marine archaeologist Frank Goddio.
