[edit] Article merge
- I am thinking about merging this article with a larger article on the Amenhotep III mortuary temple - anyone object ? Markh 09:41, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

- This is a good length on its own, and the Colossi are notable independent of the mortuary temple as a whole (because of the Greek/Roman interest). I suggest writing the temple article separately, then we can look at the two to see how they would relate. Stan 12:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- OK - will do! Markh 14:27, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

What is right 18 or 21 meters?

[edit] additions
For someone better versed than myself, a conversion of 'ha' into some English unit (I don't know the wiki standard) as well as perhaps some reference to the inscriptions of Roman legionaries in the stone. That's how I found the article. Sammermpc (talk) 19:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
