The façade of the Temple of Abu Simbel in Aswan is dominated by four statues of King Ramesses II, each about 20 metres tall, with the temple entrance between them. Above the entrance is a statue of the god Ra-Horakhty, while statues of members of the royal family stand at the king’s feet. One of the statues was damaged in an ancient earthquake. In 1968, under UNESCO’s supervision, the temple was relocated to save it from being submerged after the construction of the High Dam. Its façade also appears on the Egyptian pound, and the temple is famous for the sun’s rays reaching the sanctuary on 22 October and 22 February.
