Many colossus of Ramses II were erected on the territory of ancient Egypt. The fallen colossus of Memphis, which can be admired here, is one of the most famous.
Found in 1820, It is carved in limestone, and is about 10 m in length, even if it has no feet. Since it was never finished, it is impossible to put him on his feet, which is why he is always exposed in the prone position to the visitor. Some colors are still partially preserved.
