The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned during the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt. These statues have stood in the Theban Necropolis, near modern-day Luxor, for over 3,400 years. Each colossus is approximately 18 meters (59 feet) tall and depicts the pharaoh seated on a throne adorned with symbolic carvings. Originally positioned at the entrance to Amenhotep's mortuary temple, the colossi have endured significant damage over the millennia due to earthquakes and floods.
