Colossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon are two seated stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III on Luxor's west bank, about 18 metres high and carved around 1350 BC. They once stood at the entrance to his mortuary temple, of which little survives above ground. Greek and Roman visitors left more than 100 inscriptions on them.
