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.
