| dc.description | The original function of the Colossi was to stand guard at the entrance to Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. The temple is completely destroyed. An earthquake shattered the northern colossus, collapsing it from the waist up. So when the air passes through it, it makes a sound like a light moaning or whistling. It was turned by Greek poets to a fine legend, that the stone that sings represent Memnon, the son of Aurora and Titon, and king of Egypt and Ethiopia. (1400 BC) | en |
