Ramesses II
Also known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty of Egypt.
He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire.
His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor". He is known as Ozymandias in the Greek sources.
Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan.
He also led expeditions to the south, into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein.
The early part of his reign was focused on building cities, temples, and monuments. He established the city of Pi-Ramesses in the Nile Delta as his new capital and used it as the main base for his campaigns in Syria.

Luxor temple
The temple of Luxor is situated on the east bank of the River Nile in the town of Luxor (Thebes).
The temple itself was known as "ipet resyt" ("the southern harem") and it was founded during the New Kingdom around 1400 BC.
The temple is dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Khonsu and was the focus of one of the most important religious festivals in ancient Egypt - the annual Opet Festival.
During this festival the cult statues of Amun, Mut and Khonsu would travel from Karnak to Luxor. As a result, the temple is not aligned to the river (as is more usual) but to the temple complex at Karnak.
It is also proposed by some that the temple was in fact dedicated to the royal ka, which was symbolically joined to the living king during the Opet festival.
Thus the Luxor Temple was a shrine of the king's cult and not just to the Theban god Amun and his family.

Abu Simbel
is one of the oldest and most recognizable sites in Egypt. For 3,000 years, he sat on the west bank of the Nile, between the first and second rivers of the Nile. However, in a remarkable achievement of engineering, the temple complex was dismantled and rebuilt on a higher hill to make way for the High Dam in Aswan in the 1960s.
Built in 1244 BC, Abu Simbel contains two temples, carved at the foot of the mountain. The largest temples contain four large statues of Pharaonic Pharaoh Ramesses II (1303-1213 BC) at the entrance, each at an altitude of about 69 feet (21 meters). Its entrance to the temple was built in such a way that it shines in the inner sanctuary within two days of the year 22 October and 22 February, and three statues sit on a bench, including a pharaoh. Historians believe that these dates refer to his birth and birth
