    Colossi of Memnon

    The statue of Memnon is a well-preserved ancient Egyptian monument located in Luxor, Egypt. It depicts the pharaoh Amenhotep III sitting on a throne and is made of quartzite sandstone, standing over 18 meters tall. The statue was part of a larger temple complex, destroyed over time. One of the most interesting features is its "vocal" capabilities, emitting a loud, singing sound at sunrise caused by the rising sun heating the stone. Despite no longer "singing" today, the statue remains an important cultural and historical landmark offering insights into ancient Egypt.
