New page

'''Abu Simbel''', also ''Ipsambul'', is located in [[Upper Egypt]], an emirate within the Ottoman Empire, located an unknown distance above the First Cataract of the Nile River. The site is known for its temples, cut into the living rock of hills rising from the river valley. It has been buried by sand since the 2nd century <small>AD</small> and remained hidden these last 15 centuries, but it's said that certain Egyptian-worshipping cults know the exact location of the ruin.

The larger temple was built by [[Ramses II]] (b.1301 <small>BC</small>), who dedicated it to Amen-Ra of Thebes and Re-Herakhti of Heliopolis, beside whom Ptah and the king himself worshipped. According to texts that would be known to an authority in the era's period of [[History (sage study)|history]] ("African" or "Ancient"), the temple is oriented so that the first rays of the rising sun can penetrate the innermost sanctuary. Above the Nile is a forecourt with a ramp and steps leading to a terrance, from which rises the temple facade, fronted by four colossal seated statues of Ramses that are over 65 ft. in height. Further details, including access to an interior temple that's rumoured to exist, are generally unknown.
