EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to ancient Egypt, specifically to the majestic city of Thebes. Standing tall and proud are the Colossal Memnon Statues, a testament to the grandeur of Pharaoh Amenhotep III's reign during Dynasty XVIII. These imposing statues, captured in their full glory by the Keystone View Company, exude an air of mystery and power. The farther statue in this image holds a fascinating secret - it was said to emit a haunting cry at sunrise. This enigmatic phenomenon has intrigued visitors for centuries, adding an element of mysticism to these already awe-inspiring structures. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we can't help but marvel at the intricate details carved into each statue. The craftsmanship is remarkable; every line and curve expertly executed to create lifelike human likenesses that stand as eternal guardians over the land.
