  Colossi of Memnon

  Standing tall on the west bank of the Nile, the "Colossi of Memnon" are two massive stone statues that have watched over the ancient city of Thebes for more than 3,400 years. These iconic monuments represent "Pharaoh Amenhotep III", and originally stood at the entrance of his long-lost mortuary temple. Each statue rises over 18 meters (60 feet) high, carved from single blocks of sandstone brought from quarries near Cairo—an astonishing feat of engineering in the ancient world. Despite centuries of weathering, earthquakes, and erosion, the Colossi remain a powerful symbol of Egypt’s grandeur. Steeped in myth and mystery, one of the statues was said to "sing" at dawn during the Roman era, drawing visitors from across the empire. Today, the site is a must-see stop on any West Bank tour of Luxor, often visited alongside the "Valley of the Kings" and the "Temple of Hatshepsut".
