Abu Simbel, Governorate Aswan, Egypt Rock temple dedicated to Amun, Ra-Harakhty & Ptah New Kingdom, XIX Dynasty (1298-1187 BC) Ca. 1244-1224 BC, Ŧ Ramses II (1279-1213 BC) |
Comments:
This rock temple is the most spectacular of the seven temples built in Nubia. This is the center-piece of monumental "impe- rialist propaganda" campaign by Ramses II. His four colossal (22 m high) statues iconographically represent the image of the deified king. |
