A Shpinx at Karnak
A beautifully preserved Sphinx with a ram's head at Karnak. There were hundreds of these bordering either side of a long path. The original idea was to connect the temple at Luxor with the Karnak complex and line the entire road with these, but it was never completed.

Tut Ankh Amon at Karnak
A statue of the famous boy king and his wife at Karnak. (This is the guy whose tomb was discovered only recently in the Valley of the Kings - undisturbed by grave robbers and containing vast amounts of treasure). It interested me because King Tut's wife is portrayed here as being the same size as him - all of the other Pharaoh's liked to shrink their wives to about knee height for statues - some ego thing.
