Front of the Great Temple at Abu Simbel, Egypt, c1845. Artist: GF Weston

Front of the Great Temple at Abu Simbel, Egypt, c1845. The temple was built during the reign of Rameses II (ruled 1279-1212 BC) and was dedicated to the sun gods Amon-Re and Re-Horakhte. Rameses reign was notable for a dramatic upsurge in the rate of temple building. The existence of the great temple at Abu Simbel was unknown outside Egypt in modern times until 1813. It was explored in 1817 by the Italian explorer and antiquity seeker Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1823).Found in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge
