King Akhnateon as a crying statue .

The Colossal Statues of Akhenaten at East Karnak depict the 18th dynasty pharaoh, Akhenaten .

(also known as Amenophis IV or Amenhotep IV), in a distorted representation of the human form. The statues are believed to be from early in his reign, which lasted arguably from either 1353 to 1336 BCE or 1351 to 1334 BCE. The excavation, begun by Henri Chevrier in 1925, uncovered twenty-five fragments of the broken colossi in 

Eastern Karnak in Thebes,
 which are now located in the Cairo Museum in Egypt.
