Temple of Queen Nefertari by flight from Aswan.
King Ramses built seven temples in Nubia, each dedicated to Egypt’s main gods, with himself as the central figure. This theme is particularly evident at the Abu Simbel temple, where the four colossal statues of Ramses on the facade symbolize the gods Ra-Hor-Akhti, Ptah of Memphis, Amun-Ra of Luxor, and Ramses II himself. While the exterior presents all four gods in the likeness of Ramses, the interior sanctuary features their distinct forms, illustrating Ramses’s message that he embodies the essence of these four primary deities.
