Closer view of 2 of the huge sitting statues at the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple

Closer view of 2 of the huge sitting statues at the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple

The statues at the entrance to the Abu Simbel statue are literally huge. They display the ancient and very powerful pharaoh Ramesses II, placing him at the same level as the gods, and the pharaoh did project themselves as being divine, giving them the authority to rule over the country of Egypt. In this photo, you are able to see 2 of these statues, and in total there are a total of 4 such statues. Out of the 4 such huge statues, 3 of them are in fairly good condition, with the remaining statue being in a state of damage, with the statue above the waist being pretty badly damaged.
