The Colossi of Memnon and Amenhotep III Temple Conservation Project directed by Hourig Sourouzian and Kathrin Gabler in cooperation with site manager Nairy Hampikian pursued works in the Temple of Millions of Years of Amenhotep III at Thebes from 2 January to 6 March 2025. Thanks to the successful dewatering system applied during the previous seasons, works were focused on the Third Pylon and the preparatory operations for the lifting of the two alabaster colossal statues of Amenhotep III. Additionally, documentation and conservation processes were undertaken at the First and Second Pylons. We would like to thank the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Luxor Inspectorate for their constant support and collaboration. We also thank the donors which enabled work in this season: ARCE, Marjorie Fisher, WMF and Fondation Gandur.
