The Great Temple at Abu Simbel, also known as the Temple of Ramses II, took approximately twenty years to construct. It was dedicated to the deities Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to the illustrious King Ramesses himself. This temple is regarded as the most magnificent and beautiful of the temples commissioned during the reign of Ramesses II, and one of the most stunning in all of Egypt.
The entrance to the Great Temple is adorned with four colossal statues on its facade, each standing 20 meters tall and depicting Ramesses II seated on a throne. The main temple’s facade is embellished with hieroglyphs that celebrate Ramses II’s great victory at the Battle of Kadesh.
Inside the great temple, there are a series of rooms dedicated to Ramses and significant members of his family. The final room, the sanctum sanctorum, remains in darkness every day except for two days each year. This was not a coincidence; it required extensive knowledge of science, mathematics, architecture, and astronomy to achieve this remarkable feat.
