The Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples at Abu Simbel (أبو سمبل in Arabic), a village in Nubia, southern Egypt, near the border with Sudan. They are situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km southwest of Aswan (about 300 km by road). The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments," which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Their huge external rock relief figures have become iconic.
The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to prevent them from being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.
Ramesses II (variously transliterated as "Rameses" (/ˈræməsiːz/) or "Ramses" (/ˈræmsiːz/ or /ˈræmziːz/); born c. 1303 BC; died July or August 1213 BC; reigned 1279–1213 BC), also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire. His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor". Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan. He also led expeditions to the south, into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein.
At age fourteen, Ramesses was appointed Prince Regent by his father Seti I. He is believed to have taken the throne in his late teens and is known to have ruled Egypt from 1279 BC to 1213 BC. Estimates of his age at death vary; 90 or 91 is considered most likely. Ramesses II celebrated an unprecedented 14 sed festivals (the first held after thirty years of a pharaoh's reign, and then every three years) during his reign—more than any other pharaoh. On his death, he was buried in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings; his body was later moved to a royal cache where it was discovered in 1881, and is now on display in the Cairo Museum.

The temple at Abu Simbel, which Ramses II (the Egyptian Pharaoh who ruled Egypt for 66 years from 1270 to 1213 BC) ordered built near the border of Nubia and Upper Egypt, was dedicated to two sun gods, Amun-Re and Re-Horakhte. Standing 100 feet (33 meters) tall, the temple was carved into an already-standing sandstone mountain on the banks of the Nile. Four colossal statues of Ramses, each 66 feet (22 meters) high, guard the entrance to the temple. Rising to the pharaoh's knees are smaller statues of family members: his mother; favorite wife, Nefertari; and son, Prince Amonherkhepshef. Inside the temple, three connected halls extend 185 feet (56 meters) into the mountain. Images of the king's life and many achievements adorn the walls. Rock-cut temples may have been especially significant...

Twice a year, the first rays of the morning sun shine down the entire length of the temple chamber and illuminate the rear wall of its innermost shrine. Various portrayals and descriptions of Egyptian gods can be found throughout, many of them portrayed with animal heads, such as hawks. Due to the construction of the Aswan H...

Em 1959 a UNESCO promoveu uma campanha internacional de doações por solicitação das autoridades do Egipto e do Sudão com vista a promover a salvação dos monumentos da Núbia. Foram feitas cópias e fotografias de todos os monumentos, foi acelerada a pesquisa arqueológica nos locais que iriam desaparecer e alguns monumentos foram trasladados da sua localização original, como foi o caso de ambos os templos de Abu Simbel, que foram desmontados e reconstruídos entre 1963 e 1968. Quando a barragem do Assuã foi concluída, em 1970, muitas aldeias Núbias ficaram submersas sob as águas do lago de retenção, ao qual foi dado o nome de Lago Nasser. Esta operação teve um custo total de 40 milhões de dólares e consistiu na remoção, pedra por pedra, de cada monumento, transferindo os monumentos para uma mo...

El Gran Templo de Abu Simbel, que tomó unos veinte años construir, fue completado alrededor del año 24 del reinado de Ramsés II (que corresponde a 1265 a. C.). Fue dedicado a los dioses Amón, Ra-Horajti y Ptah, así como al Ramsés deificado.5 Generalmente, es considerado como uno de los más bellos de todos los edificados durante el reinado de Ramsés II y uno de los más monumentales de Egipto. La fachada del templo tiene 33 metros de altura por 38 metros de ancho5 y está custodiado por cuatro estatuas sedentes. Todas las estatuas representan a Ramsés II, sentado en un trono con la doble corona del Alto y Bajo Egipto. Cada una de ellas mide unos veinte metros de altura y están encabezadas por un friso de 22 babuinos, adoradores del sol y que flanquean la entrada.6 Las estatuas y el templo fu...
Following the battle of Qadesh, Ramses has sent us back to the harsh conditions of Nubia to build the famous Abu Simbel monument to commemorate his achievements, both in construction and in battle. Like with all of the Valley of the Kings missions, there is only one crossing point to reach the opposite bank as the entry and exit point is on the right hand bank. You'll need to build two medium sized loops to reach the population requirement and must be built fairly close to the flood plain. The Abu Simbel monument can only be placed in one location and it should be placed down near the beginning of the mission so that you can build around it. Requests start very early. Fulfilling the first one opens a trade route and fulfilling others will result in either a gift or a kingdom rating incre...
