Colossi of Memnon

Registered letter with the Colossi of Memnon and the Sphinx from a 10v issue. The Colossi are what remain of Amenhotep the III's large Temple Complex. As historical depictions have witnessed, this area has been flooded successively. This, and the pilfering of 'construction materials' has removed  much of the site. Issued: January 8 1914. 

For some reason I only took a couple of poor photos when I was there, but here is a side shot showing a low-relief of Hapi.
