Carved from hard, yellowish-brown sandstone quarried in the hills above Edfu, it represents Amenhotep III seated on a cube-shaped throne. He once stood guard at the entrance to the king’s temple, of which only traces remain.
In the Roman imperial era, they were considered statues of Memnon, the son of Eos and Tithonus, who was killed by Achilles during the Trojan War.
The southern giant is better preserved than the northern giant. It is 19.59 meters high, and its base is partially buried under sand. With the crown originally worn but long gone, the total height must have been about 21 meters.
The Northern Giant is the famous “musical statue” that brought flocks of visitors here during the Roman Empire.
Visitors have noticed that the statue emits a musical note at sunrise, giving rise to the legend that Memnon greeted his mother Eos with this quiet, sad tone. The sound stopped being heard after Emperor Septimius Severus restored the upper part of the statue.
