. . . . .These two giant statues are all that
remain of the mortuary temple of Amenophis III, 1391-1353 BC. Legend
has it that these statues would "sing at sunrise", this was beleived
to be noise that was made by the stone warming in the sunlight.
Unfortunately, the statues have undergone restoration which
apparently put an end to their song.
