Daily Photo -Temple of Nefertari at Abu Simbel

The second and smaller of the two temples at Abu Simbel as that dedicated to Hathor of Ibshek and to Nefertari, the most prominent of the wives of Ramesses II. As with the large temple, the most prominent feature of the facade is Ramesses himself - of the six 33 foot tall statues, two are the king and two are Neferari herself. At their feet, reaching mid-thigh height, are some of the royal children, both princes and princesses. Inside the temple, columns in the main hall are topped with carved reliefs of the head of Hathor. Amongst the deities shown in the temple are the rarely seen Seth, and the goddesses Satet and Anuket (who were sacred to the First Cataract).
