<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\u25e6 Abu Simbel<\/span><\/h6>\nAbu Simbel was built during the reign of Ramses II. After the completion of the Aswan High Dam, to prevent it from being inundated by the river waters, it took four years of joint efforts by the United Nations and the Egyptian government to relocate the temple, which had been cut into stone blocks, to its current location.\nAside from a few noticeable engineering marks, you can hardly detect any traces of construction at the seams. It truly is a remarkable restoration project!<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n01 | The Eight Statues of Ramses II in the Hall<\/h6>\n
When you enter the first hall of the temple, which is adorned with pillars, you'll see eight statues of Ramses II, with four on each side. Normally, pharaohs are shown in statues with a specific pose after their death. They are shown holding a crook and flail with their hands crossed over their chest. But Ramses II, who believed he was divine, used these statues to portray himself as a god to everyone.<\/p>\n

In the innermost part of the Abu Simbel Temple, you'll find four statues arranged from right to left: the sun god Ra-Horakhty, Ramses II, the god Amun-Ra, and the god of the underworld.<\/p>\n

At the entrance of the temple, there are statues of Ramses and Nefertari standing side by side, symbolizing her importance in the pharaoh's heart. Ramses represents the king, while Nefertari embodies the goddess of love.<\/p>\n

It's like watching a moving historical narrative, and it's truly heartwarming!<\/p>\n
