Interior view of Osiris pillars inside the Great Temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel, Egypt. "The temple interior is cut 61 meters into the mountain. The rectangular pronaos is 18 meters long and more than 16 meters wide ... Eight Osiris pillars (10 meters high) with the features of Ramses have arms crossed, holding a scepter and flail. They are arranged in two rows, those on the left wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt, those on the right with the double crown. The great vulture goddess is painted on the ceiling," by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
