Its cuts into the living rock by King Ramesses II (the Great) of the Nineteenth Dynasty around 1264 BC The temple is most well known for the four imposing seated colossal statues that dominate its façade One of these collapsed because of an ancient earthquake and its fragments can still be seen on the ground.

Colossal standing statues of the king line the main hall, leading to the sanctuary where four deities are sat: Amun Ra, Ra Horakhty, Ptah, and a deified version of Ramesses II. The temple was built with such precision that on two days a year, the 22nd of February and 22nd of October, the sun’s rays enter the temple, cross the main hall, and illuminate the innermost statues.
