Ramses the Great (1279–1213 BCE) built the great temples at Abu Simbel, starting in 1264 BC and finishing in 1244 BC, a period of 20 years, and dedicating them to the gods Ra–Horakty, Ramesses II (The Great Temple), Ptah, the goddess Hathor, and Queen Nefertari. The “Temple of Ramesses, Beloved by Amun” was constructed for two main purposes: first, to celebrate and immortalize his victories and achievements; second, to demonstrate his devotion to his lovely wife Nefertari. In 1813, the temple was unearthed after spending a considerable amount of time buried beneath the sand. Swiss explorer John Lewis Burckhardt had been directed to the location by an Egyptian Nubian youngster named Abu Simbel. The sand was entirely removed from the temple in 1909 to become one of Egypt’s most incredible attractions.
