    The average height of the ancient Egyptians, including the Pharaohs was about 5'6" for the men, and 5' 2" for the women. Amenhotep was estimated to be about 5' 5".

    These were called "The Singing Colossi Of Memnon" once upon a time. They were called that because long ago, as the Sun rose, the massive stone statues seemed to "sing" as the warmth of the Sun caused the spreading of cracks in the stone to make a squealing sound as the Mighty God Ra rose higher in the sky. The colossal images were moved in the early 20th Century, and the change in location caused the "singing" to cease.

    I love what she does . And I always learn something . But She skips a lot of crucial information to make her case ___for the great decline . Which is distressing. For instance __ "In 1177 B.C., during the reign of Rameses 111 , marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. -we can view their names and faces carved on the walls of Ramses III’s mortuary temple at Medinet Habu. In a fierce battle on the banks of the Nile , pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen? __the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes." There is a bigger more balanced story here about the big "Why" .

    Viewers should NOT accept the CHRONOLOGICAL references as absolute. The supersized statues ARE NOT 'new kingdom' re their origins. THEY existed long before the age of Amenhotep. To claim their were of him or of his construction is a fallacy. Many of the 'relics' and more left behind by the 'ancients' who existed over 800,000 years before the new kingdom /latter day Egyptians, wiped out in the cataclysmic events that saw global decimation on a scale that wiped out whole civilisations; left later civilisations taking over, reusing, destroying and claiming such artefacts etc to be theirs when as many have since discovered; they were NOT. A love of Ancient Egypt and being an 'archaeologist' is NOT a given re TRUTH. Much of the early historical / chronological detail re Egypt is either wildly inaccurate or complete and utter nonsensical FICTION.
