These two huge statues of Amenhotep III originally sat in front of the mortuary temple of the king. Unfortunately, this temple was destroyed throughout the centuries. It is believed that it was built of white sandstone, gold and silver.
The statues show Amenhotep seated on his throne with the two Nile gods of upper and lower Egypt uniting the two lands, at his sides. It is also interesting to know that on the right of each statue appears a small figure of Queen Tiye, wife of Amenhotep III and on the left Queen Mutemua, his mother.
The colossi are made of sandstone. Part of the north colossus fell in the earthquake of 27 BC. During the Roman period, this site became very popular. Authors and travellers wrote verses on the stone.

Dead Sea, one of the most spectacular natural and spiritual landscapes in the whole world. It is the lowest body of water on earth, the lowest point on earth, and the world's richest source of natural salts, hiding wonderful treasures that accumulated throughout thousands of years.
To reach this unique spot, the visitor enjoys a short 30 minutes drive from Amman , surrounded by a landscape and arid hills, which could be from another planet. En route a stone marker indicates "Sea Level", but the Dead Sea itself is not reached before descending another 400 meters below this sign.
As its name evokes, the Dead Sea is devoid of life due to an extremely high content of salts and minerals which gives its waters the renowned curative powers, therapeutic qualities, and its buoyancy, recognized since the days of Herod the Great, more than 2000 years ago .

Hatshepsut, the only woman ever to rule as a Pharaoh, set up her own mortuary temple and followed her father's example of having the temple built to better secure her body.

In the center of Luxor, separated from the Nile by a paved way whose traces are still along  the main street of the city, Luxor temple extends. It was built to be the secret settlement of the Lord of Gods - namely 'Amoun' who took the figure of 'Mein', the God of Fertility and Reproduction in Egyptian mythology.  The Luxor temple was built by Amenhotep III in the 18th Dynasty who, at the time, was referred to as 'The Magnificent'.  Amenhotep III spent virtually all his wealth on constructing great monuments and had an undying love for architecture.  Once every year, a great feast was held to transport the statue of god Amoun from the Karnak temple through the river to visit Luxor temple, which was called 'The Southern Harem'.
The temple is marked by its rear rooms with their prominent inscriptions, and the hall of columns whose crowns represent the figure of lotus flower.  Afterwards, King Ramsis II added a frontyard made of the beautiful sandstone infront of the harem. He also surrounded it with a row of columns, decorated it with statues made of granite or Aswan stone, and established infront of the temple a great palace ornamented by two granite obelisks, one of which was transferred to Concord square in Paris in 1836.

The pyramids of Giza, The valley of Giza with it's wonderful monuments, is truly a marvel of architectural prowess. The three Pyramids, consist of The Great Pyramid of Khufu , The Pyramid of Kafhre and The Pyramid of Menkaura. Each Pyramid is a tomb to a different King of Egypt.
All three pyramids were built during the Third and Fourth Dynasty, and were monumental undertakings of the king and the kings sons. The Pyramid of Khufu has a base which covers roughly a nine acre area (roughly 392,040 square feet). The pyramid of Menkaura, unlike the other pyramids, had one tier of it's base covered in granite. The pyramid of Khafre, had a two tier base encased in granite. The monuments of Giza and the entire Giza valley stand as a marvelous reminder of the skill executed in the creation of the pyramids, and are truly fabulous to see.

The Valley of the Kings (what used to be Thebes) lies about 7km from the Nile on the west bank, and must have been one of the most amazing discoveries made in Egypt.  It was here that bodies of kings such as Tutankhamoun , Ramses II, Ramses IV, Tutmose III and many other kings once lay. The idea for building this kind of burial ground is thought to have originated with the Pharaoh Tutmose I, who owing to the frequency of tomb robbings (even in those days), decided to have his tomb concealed in a place far away from his mortuary temple and not near the temple as past Pharaohs had been doing.  The Pharaohs that followed did the same -- hence changing a tradition that had been going on for close to 2000 years.  Within the tombs and along the walls, inscriptions from the Book for the Dead provided instructions for how the Pharaoh may have a safe trip to the next world and how to avoid the dangers that lay on the way.  Although not all the tombs are always open to visitors, the more interesting ones usually are.  These tombs are also electrically lighted and give a more impressive image, exposing more of the artistic detail.
The  tombs in the valley of the kings belong to the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Families. They are 62 tombs, including some small tombs which are not considered royal.
