EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1904, showcases the breathtaking sight of the Memnon Colossi standing guard at the entrance to Pharaoh Amenhotep III's mortuary temple in Thebes, Egypt. The Colossi, two massive stone statues representing Amenhotep III, have been captivating visitors for centuries. Greek travellers, in particular, likened these sentinel statues to the legendary Ethiopian king Memnon, as they believed the statues emitted a sound at dawn. The Colossi, each standing over 18 meters tall, are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, showcasing the grandeur and power of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The mortuary temple, which the statues protect, was built during the 18th Dynasty and is a testament to the architectural and artistic achievements of the time. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us back to a time when the ancient world was still shrouded in mystery and wonder. The Colossi of Memnon continue to stand tall, sentinel over the ancient city of Thebes, reminding us of the rich history and cultural heritage that Egypt holds. The intricate details of the carvings and the grandeur of the statues are on full display in this photograph, making it a must-see for anyone with an interest in archaeology, ancient history, or the wonders of the ancient world. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a reminder of the enduring allure of Egypt and its ancient treasures.
