Two stone statues depict Pharaoh Amenhotep III who reigned during the eighteenth dynasty. They measure 15.6 m in height and stand on over 2-meter pedestals. Each of them weighs about 800 tons. They are the only surviving remnant of the tomb temple of Amenhotep III. Next to the sitting Pharaoh, you can also see small statues of his wife and mother.
