• Our next stop will be to Colossi of Memnon, the only remaining item of the large mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, which was named Memnon by the Greeks due to the fact that one of the statues used to hum when the air passed through their holes.

It was built during the reign of the 19th dynasty, featured with its marvelous design with two floors of terraces, the chapels of Hathor and Anubis, and impressive statues of the queen.
