The two mo**liths in red quartzite were raised at what European and Egyptian archaeologists said were their original sites in the funerary temple of the king, on the west bank of the Nile. The temple is already famous for its existing 3,400-year-old Mem**n colossi -- twin statues of Amenhotep III whose reign archaeologists say marked the political and cultural zenith of ancient Egyptian civilisation. "The world until **w knew two Mem**n colossi, but from today it will k**w four colossi of Amenhotep III," said archaeologist Hourig Sourouzian, who heads the project to conserve the Amenhotep III temple.
