| Page Views: 3,971 Last Visit to Temple of Abu Simbel: April, 2007 | Abu Simbel Temples by Kuznetsov_Sergey - last update: Dec 12, 2007 |
You may watch my SLIDE-Show on me personal WebShot page: Abu Simbel in April, 2007
It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments", which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan dam reservoir.
The complex consists of two temples. The larger one is dedicated to Ra-Harakhty, Ptah and Amun, Egypt's three state deities of the time, and features four large statues of Ramesses II in the facade. The smaller temple is dedicated to the goddess Hathor, personified by Nefertari. |
