Old history
Hello friends
Today we walk through Abu Simbel and why not dream.
To sound that you are Ramses II or his wife Nefertari.
Gods or men?
For some, great gods that made Egypt shine on the entire known planet.
For others simply mortals with great egos and slaves that made them great.
For others only hosts from another race in the universe.
For all tastes there are.
But the truth is that the temple of Abu Simbe is wonderful, I had the pleasure of meeting him in person, (one day I will scan the photographs, I am lazy by nature)
These replicas are made with all the details.
And seeing them we begin to dream.
To dream that you are a Pharaoh of the high and low Egypt.
All the land you see is your property, you can do what you want since you are a God.
What better than doing a pharaonic work with the help of slaves or simply with that of the great men who tell the legends that inhabited the earth.
You just have to wait for the work to be done.
Columns, statues of yourself god of gods.
And many encumbered with vibrant colors or simply under relief
And with special features.
At the bottom of this temple we have the figures of Ptah, Amun, Ramses II and Ra
Twice a year the sun penetrates into this cavity and illuminates three figures
They are October 21 and February 21.
But the god Ptah always remains in the gloom.
He is the god of the underworld he likes darkness.
