Pedestals of Biahmu

Egypt

The Pedestals of Biahmu (also spelled Biyahmū) are the basal remnants of two colossal statues erected by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenemhat III. The ruins, which once stood on the shore of Lake Moeris, are located in the village of Biahmu, 4 miles (6.4 km) north of the city Faiyum. The actual statues were long ago destroyed and only their bases have survived.
