Egypt's Colossi of Memnon to be reunited with their twins

Next year the site of the Colossi of Memnon will be worked over completely: Two giant statues of the pharaoh Amenhotep III will be erected just a hundred metres (328 feet) behind the two existing colossi that mark the entrance to the mortuary temple. Another two statues, still half-buried, will also be returned to their former upright position in the years to come.
