These two seated, enthroned statues tower 18 metres (60 feet) into the sky. They are the first monuments visitors see upon arrival on the West Bank, and despite the fact that the faces have been ravaged over time, the statues are still an awe-inspiring sight. The northernmost statue is believed to ‘sing’ at sunrise.
