Monument of king Thurmose III. 18th Dynasty, circa 1450BC from Thebes, Temple of Karnak. The sides of this monument are decorated with six figures carved in high relief. The two headless figures represent King Thutmose III: the others are the god Montu-Ra and goddess Hathor. The Egyptians believed the king was divine, so he is shown the same size as the gods.
