  Colossi of Memnon

  Rising majestically on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon are two towering statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, standing sentinel over what was once his vast mortuary temple. Each soaring 18 meters high and over 3,400 years old, these monumental figures have long welcomed travelers to the sacred city of Thebes. Carved from massive blocks of sandstone, the statues depict the pharaoh seated with hands resting on his knees, gazing east toward the rising sun. Although battered by centuries of earthquakes, floods, and erosion, they remain enduring symbols of ancient Egyptian power and artistry. In Roman times, one statue earned worldwide fame for a mysterious dawn phenomenon—an ethereal “singing” sound that captivated ancient visitors. This mystical occurrence turned the Colossi into one of history’s earliest tourist attractions and added a legendary aura to their already imposing presence.
