Ramses' temple | Abu simbel Ramses' temple |
You have the bigger one, Ramses' temple where he is represented with prime wife and another wife as well as sons and daughters from different marriages. In Egyptology there is the knowledge of Ramses having this temple built to scare off enemies coming from the South; to show he was strong and huge.
The small temple is from his wife Nefertari, the most beautiful of all wifes. |
