Two tourists gaze up at the giant Colossi of Memnon statues seated across the Nile from the modern day Egyptian city of Luxor in 2007. A team of Egyptian and European archaeologists announced a string of spectacular discoveries including that of a 15 metre statue of Queen Tiy, the wife of the 18th dynasty pharaoh Amenhoptep, at the site of the Colossi of Memnon in southern Egypt.
