In Egypt experts have discovered a very very old stone head.

Officials say the colossal red granite head of one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs has been unearthed in the southern city of Luxor.

The 3,000-year-old head of Amenhotep III - grandfather of Tutankhamun and ruler of ancient Egypt for over 60 years - was dug out of the ruins of a temple.

Scientists used DNA tests to link him to the boy king Tutankhamun.

 Australia's Great Barrier Reef is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world and is home to thousands of different species - including fish, seaweed, birds and turtles.

For a long time conservationists have been worried that this unique ecosystem is being destroyed - by overfishing and climate change. But now it looks as if rules that banned fishing in big areas of the reef - may be working.

Research shows that some fish species there have doubled in the six years since the rules were brought in. But the experts say the long-term survival of the Great Barrier Reef is not guaranteed, and think climate change still poses a big threat.
