Temple of Hathor

We are still in Abu Simbel and right next to the Great Temple of Ramses II is the Temple of Hathor.  It was dedicated to Queen Nefertari who was Ramses wife.  You can see both temples in the first photo. The Temple of Hathor is on the right.

The front of the Temple of Hathor has six large statues carved which are about 33 feet high.  There are also many smaller statues carved into the rock.  The inside of this temple was also covered with reliefs on every wall and pillar.

The next picture is a closer photo of one of the large statues.  The god in this photo is Hathor.
