Abu Simbel: Awe-inspriing!


The look on Nancy's face describes how you feel when you see this place. Ramesses II built it as a monument to himself and to show all the other peoples in the region how strong and mighty he was. No photos are allowed inside the monument. The wall carvings and statues inside depict aspects of life. Next to Rameses monument is one for Nefrititi -- his queen. Also incredible.
