The Colossi of Memnon Story/Colossi of Memnon Sound

The Romans used this area as a retreat, writing songs and lyrical pieces about these enormous magical constructions. The giant Amenhotep III, due to the entry and exit of air, produces sounds that sound like loud crying; so, the Romans believed that he cries for the mother of the hero "Memnon," who was killed by Achilles during the Trojan wars. 

That is why those giant statues were named Memnon. While in fact, you are in front of the greatness of Amenhotep III, and with Golavita’s Egyptologist, you can arrive at unbelievable pharaonic mysteries and secrets.
