I'm learning how to make quick sketches.

The 18-meter Colossi of Memnon are the surviving statues of a giant temple built by Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Due to cracks from an earthquake, one statue made sounds at dawn, which the Greeks linked to the myth of the hero Memnon. This mysterious "singing" stopped after Roman restoration, and two sphinxes from this temple complex now decorate an embankment in St. Petersburg.
