This colossal statue of Ramesses II once flanked the entrance to the king’s mortuary temple, known as the ‘Ramesseum’. It was carved around 1200 BC from a single block of stone weighing about 20 tonnes, which was transported almost 200 kilometres to the temple on sleds and a purpose-built boat. Like all ancient Egyptian statues it was originally painted – traces of pigment remain on the eyes, skin and headcloth.

This statue of Amenhotep III was discovered at the site of his Mortuary Temple in Luxor. The mirror-like polish is characteristic of statues from his reign and is testament to the skills of the royal artists. #egyptology #archaeology #ancientegypt #hieroglyphs #hieroglyphics #amenhotepiii #statue #britishmuseum #pharaoh #egypt

This statue represents King Thutmose III with his hands in a pose of devotion. Ramesses II put his name on the belt and shoulders, and his son Merenpath added his name on the chest. Ancient Egyptian kings would often alter older statues, replacing a previous pharaoh’s name with their own. The column in the foreground was made around 1390 BC for a temple dedicated to Horus, the falcon god of kingship.
