Memnon may refer to:
The Scorpion King is a 2002 American epic fiction action film directed by Chuck Russell, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kelly Hu, Grant Heslov, and Michael Clarke Duncan. It is a spin-off to The Mummy Returns and follows the story of Mathayus and his rise to become the Scorpion King.
The events of The Scorpion King take place 5,000 years before those in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, and reveal Mathayus' origins and his rise to power as the Scorpion King. The name is a reference to a historical king of the Protodynastic Period of Egypt, King Scorpion.
"Before the time of the pyramids," a horde from the East invades the ancient world, led by the ruthless Memnon, who by their law, is king for being their greatest warrior. His many victories come from the help of a sorcerer who predicts the outcomes of battles, leaving only a few free tribes to oppose him.
Mathayus, his half-brother Jesup, and friend Rama, the only three true remaining Akkadians, are hired by King Pheron of the last free tribes to kill Memnon's sorcerer for twenty blood rubies, upsetting Pheron's son Takmet, as it is the last of their treasury, and Nubian King Balthazar, who dislikes the Akkadians. The Akkadians manage to sneak into Memnon's camp, but are ambushed by Memnon's guards, having been tipped off by Takmet who killed his own father and defected to Memnon's side. Jesup and Rama are hit by arrows, but Mathayus manages to sneak into the sorcerer's tent, where he sees that the sorcerer is actually a sorceress named Cassandra. Mathayus is then captured and meets Memnon himself, who brutally executes Jesup in front of him, and is about to kill Mathayus too. Cassandra, however, tells Memnon that the gods wish Mathayus to survive the night, and to defy them would incur their wrath and cost him his victories. Memnon has Mathayus buried to his neck in the desert to be devoured by fire ants at dawn, but he manages to escape with help from a horse thief, Arpid.

Plot: With the assassination of his rowdy and bawdy father King Philip in 336 BC, Alexander gathers up his Home-Boy Macedonians (30,000 or so) and crosses the Hellespont to strike Darius and the Persian Horde. The Persians, of course, torched the Acropolis three generations earlier. The Greeks (and Macedonians) never forgot. During his herculean 12-year odyssey, Alexander succeeds in creating a world empire from the Danube to the Indus. Ever the glorious conqueror, he shows not only military genius, but compassion for the conquered. Alexander's women (aside from his mother Olympias) include his life-long consort, Barsine, who takes him on erotic / chemical "trips". There is also Roxanne, the Bactrian princess / wannabe dancer, his possessive first wife and True Love. His second marriage to Stateira, Darius' clueless daughter, doesn't set well with Roxanne, which starts the tragic time-clock ticking. Roxanne opts into a regime-changing scenario-- orchestrated back in Athens by Demosthenes and Macedonian rivals.

But Mathayus ends up getting much more than he bargained for. Now with the help of the trickster Arpid, tribal leader Balthazar and an unexpected ally, it's up to Mathayus to fufill his destiny and become the great Scorpion King.

The Colossi of Memnon are definitive evidence of Lost Ancient High Technology that existed before the Dynastic Egyptians. These massive Egyptian stone statues are among the largest statues is the world. They each way 720 Tons, and were carved from one piece of Quartzite stone (1000 Tons estimated prior to being cut and carved). Even more interesting, is that they originate from a stone quarry in modern day Cairo, Egypt - 420 miles (675 km) away. How something this large and heavy was moved such a significant distance is baffling. Even modern day Egyptologists acknowledge that the Nile River was not utilized to move these stones, based on their weight and distance from the river. Be sure to check out Brien Foerster's YouTube channel as he has firsthand video examination of these statues: ...

Franz Schubert Auf der Donau D.553 (Johann Mayrhofer) Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau Benjamin Britten Live recording, Snape Maltings, 8.VI.1972 Auf der Wellen Spiegel schwimmt der Kahn, Alte Burgen ragen himmelan, Tannenwälder rauschen geistergleich, Und das Herz im Busen wird uns weich. Denn der Menschen Werk sinken all', Wo ist Turm, wo Pforte, wo der Wall, Wo sie selbst, die Starken, erzgeschirmt, Die in Krieg und Jagden hingestürmt? Wo ? Wo ? Trauriges Gestrüppe wuchert fort, Während frommer Sage Kraft verdorrt: Und im kleinen Kahne wird uns bang, Wellen drohn wie Zeiten Untergang.
