This shrine hollowed the rocky mountain in the Ramses II era (the century
[ 13th ] B.C.), and was made. The image (the head of the 2nd image falls
downward from the left) of Ramses II of four-body , and on the center,
others are smaller than four bodies and Helios Ra is carved in the front.
If the bottom of a center goes into inside at the entrance, Ramses II's
statue is located in a line with right and left, and there is a sacred
place in the very back.

An explorer called Geovanni Belzoni discovered this shrine in the 19th
century. It is said that he was a big man of 怪力 although he was the person
who became a model of the movie "indie Jones." The Seti 1 generation
[ besides this shrine ] (Ramses II's father) grave etc. was discovered.
Ramses II built the huge building and made many his own images make all over
Egypt. Many figures of the king who fights with an enemy, and tributary scenes
are drawn on the surface of a wall of this shrine. The figure in which governed
people knelt down is carved at feet of four front images.
People of ancient Egypt worshipped Helios Ra most. Kings desired to die and to
become with Helios. In this shrine, since Ramses II is made more greatly than
Helios Ra, his greatness can be grasped.
