http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Impossible to grasp the scale of two gigantic statues (Pharaoh Amenhotep III) without standing next to one. Or watch restoration of badly damaged statues that have stood for over 3,400 years! Each is estimated to weigh 720 tons and is 18 meters/60 feet tall. Hatshepsut's Temple is imposing from a distance but doesn't have much to see inside it. It is obligatory for tourists to stand in front of her statues, assume the "Egyptian Pose," arms crossed in front and perhaps do a little King Tut, a la Steve Martin.
