Colossi Of Memnon




Colossi Of Memnon

The two colossi of Memnon are located close to the remains of the mortuary temple of king Amenhotep III (18th dynasty) on the western bank in Thebes. Each one of the colossi is about 21 m high built of stone. They were cracked because of an earthquake occured in 27 B.C, as a result they started producing a strange sound every morning. Under the Roman Period they were restored, but unfortunately they were silenced forever.
