"Kolossen van Memnon in Thebe (Luxor)" is a photograph of the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, situated in Luxor, Egypt. Taken by C. & G. Zangaki, this albumen print, dated c. 1870-1890, captures the statues in their monumental scale and weathered grandeur. The photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the history and magnificence of ancient Egypt.
