ABU Simbel is an ancient temple complex, originally cut into a solid rock cliff, in southern Egypt and located at the second cataract of the Nile River. The two temples which comprise the site were created during the reign of Ramesses II (c. 1279 - c. 1213 BCE) either between 1264 - 1244 BCE or 1244-1224 BCE. The discrepancy in the dates is due to differing interpretations of the life of Ramesses II by modern-day scholars.

It is certain, based upon the extensive artwork throughout the interior of the Great Temple, that the structures were created, at least in part, to celebrate Ramesses' victory over the Hittites at the Battle of Kadesh in 1274 BCE. To some scholars, this indicates a probable date of 1264 BCE for the initial construction as the victory would have been fresh in the memory of the people. However, the decision to build the grand monument at that precise location, on the border with the conquered lands of Nubia, suggests to other scholars the later date of 1244 BCE in that it would have had to have been begun after the Nubian Campaigns Ramesses II undertook with his sons and was built as a symbol of Egypt's power.

King Ramesses II on his chariot – Battle of Kadesh

New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, ca. 1274 BC. Relief from inside the Great Temple of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel.

The battle of Kadesh is one of the world’s largest chariot battles, fought beside the Orontes River, King Ramesses II sought to wrest Syria from the Hittites and recapture the Hittite-held city of Kadesh. There was a day of carnage as some 5,000 chariots charged into the fray, but no outright victor.

Three years have passed, but the memories of the great journey through Egypt, from south to north - from Alexandria to Abu Simbel and then back from Aswan to Giza and Cairo, remain very vivid. Many thanks to the people from the research center "Laboratory of Alternative History", who are passionate about Egypt, who showed it to us in such a deep and diverse way.

I saw a good photo series with Abu Simbel. The author is a good travel photographer from Cairo Hassan Mohamed. True, we arrived in Abu Simbel in the morning and left in the late afternoon, but we walked around the Luxor temple in the dark in the evening, there is also a magnificent backlight, so I can imagine. In general, both Abu Simbel and Luxor are very photogenic.

P.S. It's a pity that the figures of people are not visible in the photo, then all the grandiosity would be clearer.
