the two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian architecture. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC, during the 19th dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Ramesses II. to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Their huge external rock relief figures have become iconic. Saved from inundation of the Nile waters in among the glories of ancient Egyptian monuments. The Temple of Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramsses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramssess II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramsses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one.
