Lego Pharaoh on the Thames

One of the largest Lego creations ever constructed is a 16-ft-tall model of an Egyptian pharaoh that looks suspiciously like King Tut.

The giant pharaoh is currently floating down the River Thames on its way to Legoland in Windsor, England, where it will be the centerpiece of Legoland's Kingdom of the Pharaohs, which is set to open March 21.

This is the final leg in its 1,395-mile journey by truck and boat from the Czech Republic, where it was constructed.

The pharaoh required more than 200,000 Lego bricks and weighs one ton.
