A beautiful, 12-foot tall quartzite statue of Queen Tiye has been found intact at the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III (next to the "Colossi of Memnon").

The largest pharaonic era fort ever discovered has been found in the northern Sinai at Tell-Huba. The site has a moat, brick walls 42 feet thick, and 24 watch towers,
