overview
Arguably one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic pharaohs, Ramesses II left an indelible mark through monumental art and architecture.
His extraordinary temples – from the towering grandeur of Abu Simbel to the majestic splendor of the Ramesseum – proudly showcase colossal statues of himself alongside detailed depictions of his beloved Queen Nefertari, each crafted to embody and project not only his immense political power but also his ambitious vision for a golden age during his remarkably long and bold reign.
Join Egyptologist Lucia Gahlin to explore the legendary reign of ‘Ramesses The Great.’
