But now it has become a ruin, only an open-air museum and dilapidated stone statues remain. Giant Ramses II Statue The Memphis Museum is very small, with only a lying statue of Ramses II in the museum. The statue was originally about 14 meters high and was carved from a single block of limestone, which is quite exquisite. Although 3,200 years old, the hieroglyphs on the statue are still clearly visible. In an earthquake, the statue's legs and left hand were broken, so the statue is now lying on the floor of the museum hall. If you want to see it clearly, you can go to the balcony on the second floor and make a detour. Outside the Sphinx Museum of Amenphis II is a small garden, you can see some broken stone sculptures, one of which represents the Sphinx of Amenphis II (Amenphis II) is more than 4 meters high , carved from a single 80-ton rock.

The Memphis Museum is a huge venue with a lot of modern artworks to be seen throughout the museum, and the Memphis Museum is also a huge modern building with a large collection of ancient Egyptian artworks and crafts.
The Memphis Museum is located 32 kilometers southwest of Cairo, once the site of the ancient city of Memphis, the original capital of the Memphis dynasty in ancient Egypt, built by Menes in 3100 BC and destroyed in the seventh century AD. The museum houses various stone statues of Ramses II, which were excavated and collected in the ruins of the ancient city in modern times. The exhibition is divided into indoor and outdoor parts, the most famous of which is the 14-meter-long lying body statue, smooth shape line and delicate carving. The outdoor Ramses II Sphinx is 4 meters high and carved from an 80-ton rock. The statues are masterpieces from 3,200 years ago and remain to this day.
The Memphis Museum in Egypt is a very large open-air museum, which holds many sculptures excavated in ancient Egypt, including unfinished statues of Pharaohs, Sphinxes, and some gods, which are one of the important archaeological relics of Egypt, and must not be missed.
Memphis was the earliest capital of Egypt, once brilliant, Memphis in 4,000 years of history, has a different name. In ancient Egypt, called the "white city". After years of baptism, now there is only a small museum left. The Memphis Museum is about the same size as a football stadium. The Memphis Museum is the smallest in the world. There is only a giant stone statue of Ramses II lying in the museum. The statue of Ramses II is beautifully carved, although it has been 3,200 years old, but the detailed textures are clearly visible. The legs and left hands of the statue were broken due to an earthquake.
The huge limestone statue of Ramses II lay there, and it felt difficult to shine, and the sun was shining on him, and he did not seem to have lay for many years. The sphinx made during the New Kingdom was not as serious as the one around the pyramids of Giza, smiling Mimi, and looking at it, he couldn't help but smile with him. The museum's things are scattered in the courtyard, very Egyptian style, the whole Egypt gives me the feeling of a huge natural museum. However, the museum is really small. If it weren't for chartered cars to Segala and Dehshur, by the way, I'm afraid I won't come here.
Memphis is an ancient city in ancient Egypt where many statues of the Egyptian period were unearthed. Among them are many unfinished Pharaoh statues. The main thing in the Memphis Museum is to display them. Divided into indoor and outdoor two parts, these precious Egyptian stone carvings are really Egypt's national treasure, worthy of everyone to enjoy.
