The Colossi of Memnon (Timalthay Memnon), two massive sandstone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, are shown during active archaeological restoration on the West Bank of Luxor. The left statue is surrounded by red metal scaffolding, while the right statue stands restored on a new granite base, with excavation trenches visible in the foreground. The Theban mountains and palm groves form the background, typical of the West Bank landscape near the ancient mortuary temple complex.
