In The Great Temple of Abu Simbel (The Ramses II temple) - jaw dropping beautiful. These war scenes are commemorating the victory of pharaoh Ramses II over the Hittites in the battle of Kadesh 1274 BC. Kadesh was a city at Lake Homs at today’s border between Lebanon and Syria. The temple took about twenty years to complete and was finished in 1265 BC during the reign of Ramses II.
Abu Simbel is in the south close to the Sudanese border at the huge water reservoir Lake Nasser about 230 kilometers southwest of Aswan. Upper Egypt.
April 1987.
