The Obelisk of Ramses II in the Piazza del Popolo. During the Middle Ages, this square formed the main entrance to the city for pilgrims and travellers arriving on the Via Flaminia (from the north). It was only when Pope Sixtus V placed the 1200 BC Egyptian obelisk of Ramses II in the centre of the square that Piazza del Popolo took on its current function. The obelisk is the tip of the trident formed by the three streets that begin in the square: Via del Corso, Via di Ripetta and Via del Babuino. Valadier was the architect who gave the square its present elliptical appearance by building the two ramps that lead to the Pincio. Two shell-shaped fountains overlooked by groups of statues stand in the two hemicycles. Valadier was also responsible for the buildings on Via del Babuino and Via di Ripetta that are today occupied by the famous cafes Rosati and Canova.

This photo was taken at the temple at Abu Simbel in the Aswan region of Egypt. This UNESCO site is an engineering feat times two. Originally carved from solid rock in the 13th century, this temple complex honored Ramses The Great and his queen, Nefertari. The colossal statues of both temples stood also as a reminder to the Nubians of the area who ruled Egypt and the might he possessed. In the 1960’s, the second engineering feat took place. The temples stood inside what is now Lake Nasser and was carved into blocks and moved to higher ground to preserve the art of the ancient Egyptians for us today and into the future. Seen here is Ramses II himself from one of the colossi on the portico of the large temple. He reigned for over 60 years and is widely regarded as Egypt’s most powerful pharaoh. Imagine this colossi watching over thousands of years of history…

Some views are as impressive to us today as they were thousands of years ago. This is the temple at Abu Simbel in the Aswan region of Egypt. Originally carved from solid rock in the 13th century, this temple complex honored Ramses II (AKA The Great) and his chief queen, Nefertari. This is the larger of the two temples. The colossal statues of both temples stood also as a reminder to the Nubians of the area that it was Ramses who ruled Egypt and the might he possessed. In the 1960’s, the second engineering feat took place. The temples stood inside what is now Lake Nasser and was carved into blocks and moved to higher ground to preserve the art of the ancient Egyptians for us today and into the future.

Four Sacred Gods at Ramses’ s Abu Simbel – Sun Temple – 1250 BC – Egypt / The Fine art shows the Statues of the four main universal gods Ra, Amun, Ptah and Ramses II to whom the temple is dedicated. These statues are situated inside 200 feet into the temple. The orientation of the temple lay out is very special in such a manner that the rays of the rising Sun would light up the statues of these four Gods twice a year . The Solstice’s occurrence commemorates the Ramsees II’ ascension to the throne 22nd February and his birth date which is 22 October. / Crowds from world over pack into the chapel before the dawn breaks and watch the shafts of light slowly creep 200 feet inside the temple to eventually illuminate the statues in an awe-inspiring display. Coincidentally, all but the statue of Ptah is lit up in golden rays, as per legend Ptah was a after all a god of darkness. The celebrations start as crowd participates in music , dancing , eating after witnessing this extraordinary natural splendor out side the temple in front of the Another 4 Colossal 108 feet sandstone statues of Ramses II situated in front of the Temple.

I loved the similarity of shape between the temple guide and the pillars in the Temple of Ramses 111 Medinet Habu (City of Habu) Egypt. Medinet Habu was both a temple and complex of temples dating from the New Kingdom. It is opposite Southern Luxor.

A couple of the colossi of Ramses II at the temple of Abu Simbel. This was a massive structure that was intended to face the Nubians to the south of Egypt and remind them of the power of Ramses The Great. There are four colossi , 3 of which remain intact – all representing Ramses. Originally carved out of the solid rock of mountains, the temple took about 20 years to complete and was finished around 1224 BC.

A shot of all the colossi at Abu Simbel, the great rock temple to the Egyptian Pharaoh known to us even today as Ramses The Great. One of the most successful rulers of ancient Egypt, this rock temple was carved out of solid rock and completed circa 1224 BC. All four colossi represented Ramses, and in each he wore the double crown of upper and lower Egypt. One of the colossi was destroyed in an earthquake and even when the entire temple was moved to save it from flooding by Aswan high dam in the 1960’s, the remains of the colossi were moved as was rather than restoring it.

The smaller temple at Abu Simbel was dedicated to Ramses II’s chief wife, Nefertari. The queen is represented as the goddess Hathor and stands alongside her husband. This is only the second temple dedicated to the wife of a pharaoh and it was most unusual for her statue to be of the same height as his. Traditionally a statue to the consort of the the Pharaoh would be no higher than his knees. This shows the high regard he held for her. They visited Abu Simbel together during his reign.

This is a statue from within the temple of Karnak (a thebian temple near modern Luxor). I’m fairly certain this was Ramses II, but not 100% sure of that identity. I know I also remember saying that many of the statues were re-used from generation to generation to represent the new Pharaoh. So, it’s possible it was both Ramses II and earlier and later kings! Still, I loved the details of this old statue. You can see the workmanship of it on one hand and the damage on the other, the pieces roughly put back so that you can tell the new and old apart.
