Abu Simbel the jewel of the desert is an archaeological site comprising two massive temples in southern Egypt the twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses the Great as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari.
Archaeologists have concluded that the immense size of the statues was intended to scare potential enemies approaching Egypt’s southern region, as they travelled down the Nile from out of Africa. With the passage of time, the temples fell into disuse and eventually became covered by sand until they were rediscovered in 1813 by Swiss explorer Jean Louis Burkhart.
The complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River
It has a miracle of the sun pass that happened every year on the 22nd of February and 22nd of October
