Temple of Ramesses II, Luxor Overview
The Ramesseum is a mortuary temple dedicated to Ramses II. It is located in the Theban necropolis on the West Bank of the Nile. It took 20 years for the temple to be completed, and the magnificence of that shows in the remnants of the statues of Ramses II. The most prominent of these is the fallen colossal statue of Ramses II which once stood over 19 m high.
The walls are inscribed with scenes from Ramses II’s life, with particular importance given to the Battle of Kadesh. In addition, a 48-column hypostyle hall, a sanctuary, internal facades of pylons, and intricate wall paintings of Ramses II’s wife, children and mother all help give you an idea of the magnificence of this temple.
