Abu Simbel se refiere a dos antiguos templos excavados en la roca en el sur de Egipto, cerca de la frontera con Sudán, construidos por el faraón Ramsés II en el siglo XIII a. C. El templo mayor está dedicado a Ramsés II y a los dioses, mientras que el menor está dedicado a su esposa, Nefertari. Estos enormes monumentos, que fueron reubicados en la década de 1960 para protegerlos de la crecida del lago Nasser, son ahora un importante destino turístico y Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. |
