http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossi_of_Memnon

Probably the oldest monument unearthed so far in Egypt. This is a reconstruction in progress and more such statues are being unearthed as I write this. The work is progressing rather slowly given the political and economic situation of the country.

The name Memnon might seem familiar to those who have watched the movie "Troy". There is a link that is explained in the wikipedia page.
