Wonderful! Beautiful temple. Ol' Rameses sure was into free love! :D imagine having 100 children? Two were enough for me lol. I have 2 questions: 1. Do you know what the wasp hyroglyph means? I see it often. 2. When outside the temple, the statue on the far right has some damage to his lower leg. Underneath the plaster (?) it appears almost to be made of bricks. Am I seeing this wrong? I'm only on a phone. Or is it possible the statues were built in this way with a covering of plaster? Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.

Hey Ancient Sites, I love Egyptian temples. They are a library of information written on the walls, and so much more interesting than the pyramids. I look forward to your vid on the temple of Nefertiti. That cat rocked, and and is probably one of the most influential females in dynastic Egypt. Rameses thought the same, loved her dearly, and erected a temple in her honor. Side note: Rameses 2nd fathered over 100 children....that man "put it around" to say the least...peace to ya AS.

Hey Cat Man, it would be cool to see AS on a Hawass tour, but I can tell you it would be even more expensive than those alternative tours. I will tell you a quick story. Just out of curiosity I enquired about a Brien Foerster Egyptian tour. I was quoted $6,000 for a 10 day trip....not including flights or spends money. I had no intension of going on a Brien F tour, I just wanted to see what those guys charge. I worked out I could the same (minus a few "special permissions) for a third of that. Unless you are dripping in money, do it yourself would be my opinion.

@@ancientsitesgirl just a few hours ago, my beautiful orange colored cat and I were watching your Abu Simbel video together. I was just thinking about how clear your voice is along with the equally clear BEAUTIFUL music in the background. I'm old enough to be your grandfather (Mark Lehner dug me up from an Ancient Site-TRUE LOL) and legally deaf, yet I can her both you and the music easily - without a hearing aid. I CAN'T hear my nextdoor neighbor when she's standing next to me. LOL. There's a lot of information in your vids, and usually I have to watch them three or four times. I loved hearing the story about Ramses fighting off the entire invading army by himself. I've heard it before from a historian who then remarked "...IS A LOAD OF RUBBISH" LOL 🤣. I'm glad you're able to see this site with your own eyes. Your camera work is actually very good, but no camera can do this site Justice. I can easily see why it was one of your childhood dreams to see it for yourself. I'm glad you had that opportunity and was able to share it with the rest of the world 🌍. Well, ALL THE BEST and SEE YOU AGAIN AT ANOTHER ANCIENT SITE.

I’ve been obsessed with Egyptology since I was a child, and Abu Simbel has always been my favorite temple and Ramses is my favorite Pharaoh. Some time ago I looked for videos on KZread about Abu Simbel, and there weren’t many to watch. Most just focus on moving the temple, which is fascinating in itself, but not what I was looking for. I actually learned a couple things in this video that I didn’t know because you were actually there in person to examine it. One of my biggest dreams in life is to walk in that temple, where Ramses once stood. I get goosebumps just thinking about it lol. Thank you for the video though, I hope you continue to make more in Egypt.

It's an amusing dichotomy how a site of such grandeur and immensity got its name from a humble boy who knew of its location and therefore had his name attached to it. You'd assumed that such a site would have a known ancient name, and no doubt it did, but it is lost in the sands of time.

Yes, in the Ramasseum it's possible. He might have used statues from the temple of Amenhotep III (Colossi of Memnon), which, during Rameses lifetime, was most likely already destroyed. In Karnak as well as in the Luxor Temple he also might have "reused" the statues but not in Abu Simbel, in the secluded place in the desert.
