Description
View of the Temple of Nefertari, wife of Ramses, II at Abu Simbel, Egypt. "The smaller temple is dedicated to Ramses II's wife, Nefertari. Although she was not his sole wife, she was the best beloved. In addition, she is represented on the facade of this temple as large as her husband--a clear indication of her status. The sloping facade has three recessed areas on each side of a central doorway, flanked by two large statues of Ramses. Nefertari is shown as Hathor with the horns of the sacred cow, the solar disk and two plumes,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
