Colossi of Memnon, Luxor

Free site to visit and it’s lovely. Magnificent statues. Amazing to see what was made thousands of years ago. The height at which these stand is unbelievable. Great Egyptian architectural geniuses back then. Wasn’t very busy but it’s worth a visit. The statues have worn away but still stand majestically.

It's amazing that such incredible monuments are just at the side of the road. Badly damaged by time and men they're still convey the greatness and power of this ancient and misterious civilization.

I guess one of the very few sites which is free to enter. It's an active archaeological digging site. Therefore, you can't walk into the sites But, you can walk along the road to have a good look. Try to find the Greek inscription on the bodies of the two big statues.

Luxor Egypt. West Bank and Valley of the Kings. This is where they found hundreds of tombs for the various kings and queens of Egypt including Ramses and King Tut the giant Memnon.. the twin statues of a lost temple that withstood more than 3,000 years of desert heat and Nile floods.. What a stunning sight.. these were said to be The statues sang a specific tone, but when the Romans decided to fix it, they lost the charm of the statues. The aura was new again..the engravings were done differently and the colors were there...imagine what those days would have been in their full grandeur!!!

It is a nice spot for a quick photo when you are on your way to or from the valleys of the Kings and Queens. There is not much left of the statues that once stood there but it is fun to see if you happen to be there.
