ABU Simbel聽is an ancient聽temple聽complex, originally cut into a solid rock cliff, in southern聽Egypt聽and located at the second cataract of the聽Nile聽River. The two temples which comprise the site were created during the reign of聽Ramesses II聽(c. 1279 - c. 1213 BCE) either between 1264 - 1244 BCE or 1244-1224 BCE. The discrepancy in the dates is due to differing interpretations of the life of聽Ramesses聽II by modern-day scholars.
It is certain, based upon the extensive artwork throughout the interior of the Great Temple, that the structures were created, at least in part, to celebrate Ramesses' victory over the聽Hittites聽at the聽Battle聽of聽Kadesh聽in 1274 BCE. To some scholars, this indicates a probable date of 1264 BCE for the initial construction as the victory would have been fresh in the memory of the people. However, the decision to build the grand monument at that precise location, on the border with the conquered lands of Nubia, suggests to other scholars the later date of 1244 BCE in that it would have had to have been begun after the Nubian Campaigns Ramesses II undertook with his sons and was built as a symbol of Egypt's power.

Three years have passed, but the memories of the great journey through Egypt, from south to north - from Alexandria to Abu Simbel and then back from Aswan to Giza and Cairo, remain very vivid. Many thanks to the people from the research center "Laboratory of Alternative History", who are passionate about Egypt, who showed it to us in such a deep and diverse way.
I saw a good photo series with Abu Simbel. The author is a good travel photographer from Cairo Hassan Mohamed. True, we arrived in Abu Simbel in the morning and left in the late afternoon, but we walked around the Luxor temple in the dark in the evening, there is also a magnificent backlight, so I can imagine. In general, both Abu Simbel and Luxor are very photogenic.
P.S. It's a pity that the figures of people are not visible in the photo, then all the grandiosity would be clearer.
