Statues inside the Temple of Abu Simbel built during the reign of Rameses II (ruled 1279-1212 BC) and dedicated to the sun gods Amon-Re and Re-Horakhte. Rameses reign was notable for a dramatic upsurge in the rate of temple building. The existence of the great temple at Abu Simbel was unknown outside Egypt in modern times until 1813. It was explored in 1817 by the Italian explorer and antiquity seeker Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823). From Egypt and Nubia, Vol 1, by David Roberts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Sanctuary of the Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt during the 19th century. Created by renowned artist David Roberts, this artwork provides a glimpse into the awe-inspiring statues housed within this ancient temple. Built under the reign of Rameses II, who ruled from 1279 to 1212 BC, these statues were dedicated to the sun gods Amon-Re and Re-Horakhte. Rameses II's rule was marked by an extraordinary surge in temple construction, and it is through his efforts that this grand temple at Abu Simbel came into existence. Interestingly, its existence remained unknown outside of Egypt until 1813 when Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni discovered it. Belzoni's exploration in 1817 shed light on this hidden gem for modern civilization. Through David Roberts' lithograph featured here, we can appreciate not only the intricate sculptures but also gain insight into the rich history and religious significance associated with this sacred site. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail captured within these walls. As part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this photograph print serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and archaeological importance. It allows us to delve deep into ancient Egyptian culture while marveling at their architectural prowess and devotion towards deities like Amon-Re and Re-Horakhte.
