The damaged statue out of the 4 statues at the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt

The damaged statue out of the 4 statues at the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in Egypt

There are these 4 huge statues at the entrance to the temple of Abu Simbel. These statues depict the great pharaoh Ramesses II (who is acknowledged as the most powerful known pharaoh of ancient Egypt) in the sitting position. The pharaoh is depicted wearing a double crown (that of the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt), with the size of these sitting statues being 20 meters (which is huge). The statue in the middle (in this photo, it is actually the second statue from the left out of the total of 4 statues) was damaged in an earthquake, which caused the structure of the statue above the waist to fall, and can now be seen at the base of the statue.
