She was the only pharaonic woman to reign in ancient Egypt.
The two faceless Colossi of Memnon, originally representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III, rise majestically about 18 meters above the plain and are the first monuments tourists see when they visit the west bank.
These magnificent colossi, each carved from a single block of stone and weighing 1000 tonnes, were located at the eastern entrance to Amenophis III’s funerary temple, the largest on the west bank.
