For the past 3,400 years (since 1350 BC), the statues have stood in the Theban necropolis across the River Nile as guardians to the entrance to Amenhotep’s memorial temple. The statues are made from blocks of quartzite stone. There is also a strange phenomenon at this site known as the "Vocal Memnon," mysterious vocalizations and sounds from the broken colossus are allegedly heard in the mornings.
