Block of characters near the top of the statues at the smaler temple in Abu Simbel

A view of the characters in a block at a height where the head of the statues can be seen. This is at the smaller temple in Abu Simbel, known as the temple of Hathor and Nefertari. The structure is actually a remarkable monument, since this a temple dedicated to the queen consort, which was remarkable. In addition, the statues of the pharaoh and the queen at this temple were built of the same height, which was very different from other statues where the queen would come to the knee level of the pharaoh.
