Statue located above the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in south Egypt

A view of a statue located above the entrance to the Abu Simbel temple in south Egypt. The statue looks to be fairly good condition, with the temple being around 34 centuries old (from the time of the reign of the pharaoh Ramesses II). From the photo, it is not apparent, but the statue is located at a bit of height, not at ground level. It was interesting to see such a statue, actually built inside inside the wall rather than being placed in front of the wall. Next to the statue, you can see some more graphics, depicting some events from the pharaoh's life.
