The Great Temple of Abu Simbel

abu simbel temple


The temple was dedicatede to the triad Amon-Ra, Harmakes, Ptah and Ramesses II.
The facade is 38m long and 31m high.
Four colossol seated statues of Ramesses II replace the supporting columns of the facade.
The rok-cut temple, as Abu Simbel, has not so-called exterior except facade. If the temples don't have statues, there is only entrance for the temple in exterior. We remember that architectures should have the innner space at first execpt the monument.
