    Abstract
    Two tall statues (colossi) line a pathway.
    Description
    Caption: "It and its fellow are usually called the Colossi of Thebes. They are loftier than the great Buddha of Kamakura in Japan. The right-hand Colossus is supposed to be "The Vocal Statue of Memnon." They stood outside the mortuary temple of King Amen-hetep III., which has now disappeared. At high Nile the land on which they stand is inundated."
