Ramesseum Temple Ramesses II

Egypt 2007 - Ramesseum, Temple Ramesses II, Luxor West Bank. 16 December 2007, after 'The Seti I Temple of Millions of Years'.

Ramesses II built his fabulous mortuary temple on the site of Seti I's ruined temple, where he identified himself with the local form of the God, Amun. However, Ramesses built the temple too close to the Nile !! and the flood waters took their toll.
