🐤 Ramses II's great achievements

The Abu Simbel Temples, located at the southern tip of Egypt, are one of the most spectacular of the World Heritage Sites. Two giant shrines, built by Pharaoh Ramses II, stand quietly on the banks of the Nile, traversing more than three thousand years to show the world the splendor of ancient Egyptian civilization. The giant statue of the Pharaoh on the front, 20 meters high, is carved to life in every detail, showing the supreme authority and eternal glory of the Pharaoh. In the daylight, the entire temple shines with golden light, and one can’t help but marvel at the extraordinary construction technology of ancient Egypt. The interior of the temple is even more shocking, with images of gods and ancient Egyptian texts covering the walls, recording the exploits and beliefs of Ramses II. Most notably, at the spring and autumn equinoxes each year, the sun’s rays pass accurately through the entrance to the temple and directly onto the statue of the Pharaoh, symbolizing the miracle of light and eternal life. ✨ 📍Abu Simbel Temples Address: Aswan Governorate, Egypt ⌛ Opening hours: Daily 05:00 – 18:00 💲 Ticket cost: about 600 Egyptian pounds, recommended to charter a car #November Good Places 2024 #Egypt #usj #sunway #global travel
