COLOSSI OF MEMNON, EGYPT
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
One of the main attractions on the West Bank of Luxor, a landmark which everyone passes on the road to the monument area, are two gigantic statues known as the Colossi of Memnon. These two huge ruined statues, around 17m high, once stood at the entrance gate of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, though very little of the temple behind them remains today. They were cut from two massive granite blocks, brought from quarries near Cairo, and carved to represent the pharaoh Amenhotep III of Dynasty XVIII.

Hello Andre,
It is amazing to see the building activity they showed up during the dynasties, everything to ensure an eternal life for themselves..!
This is probably not one of your best since you cut a few too many legs, but I like inclusion of the lady!
