Explore the majestic Abu Simbel, site of two temples built by the Egyptian king Ramses II (reigned 1279–13 BCE). In ancient times the area was at the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt, facing Nubia. The four colossal statues of Ramses in front of the main temple are spectacular examples of ancient Egyptian art. By means of a complex engineering feat in the 1960s, the temples were salvaged from the rising waters of the Nile River caused by erection of the Aswan High Dam.
Carved out of a sandstone cliff on the west bank of the Nile, south of Korosko, the temples were unknown to the outside world until their rediscovery in 1813 by the Swiss researcher Johann Burckhardt. They were first explored in 1817 by the early Egyptologist Giovanni Belzoni.
