The Great Temple of Ramses II, also known as the Temple of Abu Simbel, is an ancient Egyptian temple located in Aswan. It was carved out of a mountainside during the reign of Ramses II in the 13th century BCE. The temple is famous for its four colossal statues of Ramses II seated at the entrance, each standing about 20 meters tall. Inside the temple, intricate carvings and hieroglyphs depict various scenes from Ramses II's life and his military victories. The temple was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra, and Ptah, showcasing the pharaoh's devotion and power. It was relocated in the 1960s to prevent flooding from the Aswan High Dam.
