The following is currently under discussion on EEF's email forum. Thanks to Rhio Barnhart for the links. There are photos on the AK News site, which look very dubious.
A Kurdish archaeological expedition announced on Thursday that it had found a small statue of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen in northern Iraq, a Kurdish news agency reported. Hassan Ahmed, the director of the local antiquities authority, told the Kurdish news agency Akanews that archaeologists had found a 12-centimeter statue of the ancient Egyptian king in the valley of Dahuk, 470 kilometres north of Baghdad, near a site that locals have long called Pharaoh's Castle.
He said archaeologists from the Dahuk Antiquities Authority believe the statue dates from the mid-14th Century BC.
Ahmed said the statue of Tutankhamen showed "the face of the ancient civilization of Kurdistan and cast light on the ancient relations between pharaonic Egypt and the state of Mitanni."
