Colossi of Memnon
Date Added: 1st Jul 2013
Site Type: Carving
Country: Egypt (Upper Egypt (South))
Visited: Yes on 3rd Mar 2003. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
Colossi of Memnon submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Jan 2006. Large colosal statues of Amenhotep III (Father of Akhenaten). They were originaly carved out of one block but suffered greatly during the 27 BCE earthquake which leveled the Palace of Amenhotep II behind them and damaged many other antiquities in Egypt.
Memnon was a charachter in Homer's Illiad. The Romans though it was amusing to rename the colossi as one of them emited a sighing sound at sunrise on account of air excaping from a fissure, which reminded them of this myth.
