"The traditions concerning Memnon are interesting as well as instructive. He was claimed as a king by the Ethiopians , and identified with Pharaoh Amunoph or Amenhotep, by the Egyptians. A fine statue of him is located in the British museum in London. Charles Darwin makes a reference to this statue in his the 'Descent of Man' which is well worth producing: 'When I looked at Amunoph III, I agreed with two officers of the establishment, both competent judges, that he had strongly marked Negro type features.'"
