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.
