Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples at Abu Simbel
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.
Abu Simbel is a 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 (The Great Temple and The Small Temple)
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 art work 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.
