The Ramesseum serves as the memorial temple of Ramesses II (Ramesses Meryamun Usermaatre Setepenre), also referred to as Ramesses the Great. It was initially designed to host the mortuary cult of the monarch following his death, and was equally devoted to the deity, Amun.
For those passionate about ancient Egyptian lore, it is more than likely that they’re familiar with the uncovering of King Tut’s tomb. In contrast to other sepulchers, The Crypt of Tutankhamen was unearthed by a man named Howard Carter. He not only found the tomb, but was supervising its archeological dig, which is why his sayings and proverbs often accompany this monumental find.
