Introduction to the Colossi of Memnon: Located on the way between the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, it turned out to be the statue in front of the temple of the pharaoh "Aminhotep III", but there is no trace of the temple itself. The 20-meter-tall colossus is so badly weathered that its face is unrecognizable. Earthquakes during Roman rule caused cracks in the statue. Whenever the wind blows, the sound made by the Memnon statue is like someone singing, which is very magical. In 200 AD, a Roman emperor kindly ordered the repair of the dilapidated stone statue, but from then on, the stone statue could no longer "sing".
