Archaeological Highlights

Abu Simbel Temples

Located near Lake Nasser, the temples were carved out of a mountainside in the 13th century BCE during the reign of Ramses II. They were relocated in the 1960s to save them from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam.  

 

 

- Key Features:

  – The Great Temple (Ramses II Temple):  

    – Dedicated to Ramses II and the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah.  

    – Four colossal statues of Ramses II, each standing 20 meters tall, guard the temple       entrance.  

    – Inside, intricately carved reliefs depict Ramses’ military victories, including the famous Battle of Kadesh.  

  – The Small Temple (Temple of Hathor and Nefertari):  

    – Dedicated to Queen Nefertari and the goddess Hathor.  

    – Features six statues on its façade, four of Ramses and two of Nefertari, showcasing her elevated status.  

    – Interior reliefs highlight the queen’s divine role and the royal couple’s devotion to the gods.  

Astronomical Significance

  – The temple’s construction aligns with the sun’s rays, which illuminate the inner sanctum twice a year (on February 22 and October 22) to celebrate Ramses’ birthday and coronation.
