The Temple of Hatshepsut is distinguished by its unique architectural design, in comparison to the Egyptian temples that were built on the eastern bank of the Nile at Thebes. The temple consists of three successive floors with open terraces. The temple was built of limestone, and in front of the second floor columns were erected limestone statues of the god Osiris and Queen Hatshepsut

• Colossi of Memnon

  30 minsAdmission Ticket Included

  The two identical statues depict Amenhotep III (who lived in the fourteenth century B.C.) seated, hands spread on his knees and looking toward the east (in fact toward the southeast in modern directions) toward the river. Two short figures are carved on the front of the throne, along with his legs: his wife Tiye and his mother Death M and Ya. The side panels depict the Nile god Habi.The statues were made of quartzite sandstone blocks that were quarried from Jabal al-Ahmar (near present-day Cairo) and transported 675 km (420 mi) overland to Thebes (Luxor). It is believed that the stones were so heavy that they could not be transported upstream of the Nile. The blocks that Roman engineers later used to reconstruct the northern statue may have come from Edfu (north of Aswan). Including the stone platforms they were standing on - about 4 meters (13 feet) high - each statue is 18 meters (60 feet) high and each weighs 720 tons. They are about 15 meters (50 feet) apart.
