EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning temple facade, depicted in the photograph, showcases the grandeur and artistic prowess of ancient Egyptian civilization during the New Kingdom period, specifically the 19th Dynasty. The Temple of Hathor or Small Temple at Abu Simbel is a remarkable architectural masterpiece dedicated to the goddess Hathor and the queen Nefertari, the beloved wife of Pharaoh Ramses II. The intricately carved facade presents an awe-inspiring image of Ramses II and Nefertari, both adorned in elaborate headdresses. Ramses II is depicted wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, while Nefertari is dressed as the goddess Hathor, with the solar disc and cow's horns on her head. The hieroglyphics and hieratic script inscriptions on the temple walls further emphasize the religious and historical significance of this structure. Pharaoh Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, ruled Egypt from 1290 to 1224 BC, and his reign marked a significant period in Egyptian history. The Temple of Hathor at Abu Simbel is a testament to the grandeur of the New Empire and the artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptians. This UNESCO World Heritage Site continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Egypt.
