The Colossus of Ramesses is an enormous statue carved in limestone. It's about 34 feet long. Some of the original colors are still preserved. See that guy just to the right of his belt dressed in traditional clothing? He would keep jumping into our shot, smiling and waving at us and then demand bakhsheesh on the way out. Welcome to Egypt.
