The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located in the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt. They depict the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the 18th Dynasty (around 1390–1352 BC). The statues are made of quartzite sandstone and are about 18 meters (59 feet) tall. They originally stood at the entrance of Amenhotep’s mortuary temple, but today they are the only remains of the temple still standing. The statues are also known for their acoustic properties, as they emit a whistling or humming sound when struck by the sun’s rays. This phenomenon, known as the “Vocal Memnon,” was thought by the ancient Greeks to be the statue speaking, and it drew many tourists to the site.
The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari is a funerary temple built for the 18th dynasty Pharaoh Hatshepsut, who ruled Egypt from 1478 to 1458 BC. The temple is located in the Theban Necropolis on the west bank of the Nile, opposite the city of Luxor. The temple is unique for its design, as it was built into a cliff face, with three terraces rising up the face of the rock. The temple features a series of chapels, courtyards and halls, some of which are decorated with intricate carvings and paintings depicting Hatshepsut’s rule and her achievements. The temple also features a series of statues of Hatshepsut, including a large red granite statue of the pharaoh, which is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The temple was rediscovered in the 19th century and has since undergone extensive restoration. Today, it is a popular tourist site and a significant example of ancient Egyptian architecture.
The Valley of the Kings is a valley located in the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile in Luxor, Egypt. The valley is home to the tombs of many pharaohs of the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, including Tutankhamun, Rameses II, and Hatshepsut. The Valley of the Kings is also known as the “Valley of the Gates of the Kings” (or “the Place of Truth”).
The valley contains over 60 tombs, most of which were built for the pharaohs of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties. The tombs are decorated with intricate carvings and paintings depicting religious scenes, funerary rituals, and the daily life of the pharaohs. The tomb of Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt between 1332 and 1323 BC, is one of the most famous tombs in the valley, and it was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. The tomb contained a wealth of artifacts, including the famous mask of Tutankhamun, The Valley of the Kings is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is a popular tourist destination
