Back to Egypt - The Colossi of Memnon


These are very cool they are massive statues that have been damaged by an earthquake which caused them to every morning when the rays of the rising sun touch the statue, it makes musical sounds, like a moaning noise or the sharp twang of a harp string . This was supposed to be the voice of Memnon responding to the greeting of his mother Eos and this is why the statues are named after Memnon


This is me and Emma one of the other Kiwi girls on the tour with us.
