Colossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located in the Theban Necropolis in Luxor, Egypt. They are situated at the entrance of what was once a monumental temple, and they depict the pharaoh Amenhotep III seated on his throne.

Each statue stands over 18 meters tall and weighs approximately 720 tons. They were constructed from a single piece of stone, most likely quarried from the nearby Gebel el-Silsila quarry.

The Colossi of Memnon have been a popular tourist attraction for centuries, drawing visitors from all over the world to marvel at their size and ancient beauty. In ancient times, the statues were believed to "sing" at dawn, a phenomenon attributed to the sound of the morning breeze passing through small fissures in the stone. While this effect no longer occurs, the Colossi of Memnon remain a testament to the incredible architectural and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt.
