The Colossi of Memnon are two towering stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, standing approximately 18 meters tall on Luxor’s West Bank. Carved from massive quartzite sandstone blocks quarried near Cairo and transported over 700 kilometers, these statues are the last remains of the grand mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, once the largest temple complex on the West Bank of the Nile.
