The Colossi of Memnon

Decoded

If like me you want to get to the bottom of our world history the first thing you have to do is forget everything you were taught at school. Don’t get me wrong some of the things we learned will probably come in handy one day, like the alphabet for instance but ancient history, not so much. One alarming example of this is the statue featured above known universally as “The Colossi of Memnon, who scholars insist is really Pharoah Amenhotep III.

Even though the statues contain 107 Roman era inscriptions in both Greek and Latin, dated to between AD 20 and 250; many of these inscriptions on the northern most statue make reference to the Greek mythological king Memnon, whom the statue was then-erroneously thought to represent according to modern scholars.

Officially

The Colossi of Memnon are a pair of giant statues made of stone that are located in the Theban necropolis in Luxor, Upper Egypt. The statues were supposedly made during the 14th century BC, during the period in ancient Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. The best-known legend about the Colossi of Memnon is that of the ‘Vocal Memnon,’ in which one of the statues was reputed to ‘sing’ every morning at dawn.

The Colossi of Memnon were built during the reign of Amenhotep III, a pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty who ruled Egypt during the 14th century BC. The statues, which are each about 20 meters (65.62 ft.) in height, are made of quartzite sandstone. The stone is thought to have been quarried either from El-Gabal el-Ahmar (near Cairo) or from Gebel el-Silsileh (near Aswan) and then transported by land to Luxor. The statues depict Amenhotep III in a seated position, with their hands resting on their knees, and their faces facing the Nile in the east. (see ancient origins dot net)

Ancient Version

Everything we think we know about the Egyptian Kings came from a priest named Manetho who was commissioned to investigate old records concerning the kings of the country by Philadelphus. He authored the Aegyptiaca (History of Egypt) in Greek that scholars continue to argue about to this day, through the surviving works of Josephus, Africanus and Eusebius.

In the third century BC, an Egyptian priest named Manetho wrote, in Greek, a history of his native country. Although no copies of his original manuscript have yet been found, redacted portions have been preserved in the writings of Josephus, Africanus and Eusebius. These preservations, which focus primarily on Manetho’s chronology of Egyptian dynasties, contain numerous inconsistencies and present many problems but they have served as the basis for our present arrangement of pre-Alexandrian Egyptian history as a succession of thirty or thirty-one dynasties. Much of the writing about Egyptian chronology attempts to either reconcile or reject Manetho’s history with respect to archaeological records. (Gary Greenburg)

Modern scholars as we mentioned make Memnon, the famous combatant of the Trojan War a mythological Greek God. These God’s are the same figures that we have become accustomed to knowing as Zeus or Apollo for example, who pull the strings behind the scenes in Homer’s classic ‘The Iliad.’ The problem as usual with ancient literature is that the Iliad is littered with corruption from start to finish. In the beginning of his work on the Aegyptiaca Manetho lists a dynasty of Gods that reigned before the flood that started with Vulcan. He was believed to have ruled in the country for 750 years followed by his son Helios who reigned a further 87 and 1/2 years. We also have the testimony of Eusebius and Africanus who says that Memnon, whose colossal statue uttered musical sounds was a king of Egypt. While Strabo states it to be the prevailing opinion, that the Egyptians called Memnon, who was at the siege of Troy Ismandes, who we know today as Osymandias king of kings.

The Statue

The Colossi of Memnon are reported as two 3400-year-old twin statues located in Luxor Egypt who the whole of antiquity referred to constantly as being represented by Memnon. This identification R Drew Griffin argued was entirely due to the fact that the northern most statue faces sunrise on the winter solstice and so was linked to dawn or Memnon’s mother. The twin statues of Amenhotep (really Memnon) are in a seated position gazing eastwards (sunrise) with their hands resting on their knees. They are constructed from a single piece of quartzite sandstone that were quarried from nearly 700 kilometres away. Each statue weighed in at around 720 tons each convincing Egyptologists that these monoliths did not travel via the Nile. Standing at 18 metres high or 60 feet the statues are visible from an incredible 10 miles away.

Today our modern civilization has no connection with these colossi, we have no clue how they were carved, and certainly absolutely no clue how they were transported. The truth is we have not got the technical ability that is required to accomplish the feats we can observe, that were achieved by our ancestors. The two statues denote yet another mystery that our ancestors are challenging us to explain presumably without the use of technology.

Memnon.

The general story concerning Memon who scholars believe is a myth is very easy to unravel when you understand what our ancestors are transmitting. But first you have to understand the language that they are employing as a tool to communicate with posterity, which is fourfold. Number one you have to identify the language that the ancients called ‘The Language of the Gods.’ Then you have to understand the clue that specifically informs you where the language exists. For example you are reading the bible and suddenly the clue jumps out of the text to reveal you are reading a passage that contains hidden information. Number three you have to be able to decipher that specific passage perfectly. Then lastly you have to be able to back engineer the source from where the language originated to identify the creator.

Tithonus was supposedly a half brother to king Priam, he had engaged the affections of Aurora (Dawn) and by her he had become the father of Memnon. Aurora conferred on him (Tithonus) the gift of immortality, but unluckily for him, she had forgotten to render her gift really valuable by exempting him from the infirmities of old age. The consequence was, that he experienced all the inconveniences of Swift’s immortals of Laputa, without the possibility of being released from them by the friendly hand of death. At length Aurora, pitying his deplorable situation, changed him into a grasshopper.

If we examine the above paragraph a little more closely, we can identify a corrupt version of the language I mentioned earlier. We can see the clue that jumps right out of the text before our eyes, that shows us that there is information contained within it. Unfortunately, the commentary comes from a modern author who is narrating over the top of the verse, rendering it for the most part undecipherable. However, what we can do is understand who the characters are and from what era they belong almost to the exact year. Which proves that the person the statue represents is Memnon. For paid subscribers we will investigate this further and reveal our initial findings below.
