Let's turn the temple this way.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

The scope and scale of what is under the sand in Egypt, I mean, I think even most mainstream archaeologists will tell you like 70% of it's still as yet undiscovered, at least.

The Temple of Amenhotep II or III is near Colossi of Memnon.

These giant 600, 700-ton statues are like the front door to it, and they're slowly excavating this monstrous temple behind it, and they keep finding these remnants of these colossal statues.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And I've heard rumors that they found like a hand from a statue that's even bigger than the biggest ones we've found so far.
