Mus.) dedicated to the 'Living Image' of the King, and thus continuing a tradition established by Amenophis III at Soleb. The two temples of Abu Simbel belong to the second phase of building. They mark the beginning of a new series of temples in which the King was associated with the three chief state deities, Amun-Re, Re-Horakhty and Ptah. The temple at Wadi el-Sebua (re-erected near its original location) is the most elaborate of this new series. The front part of the temple proper is a free-standing structure of sandstone blocks, preceded by an elaborate dromos, surrounded by a mud-brick enclosure wall, and including a large mud-brick pylon decorated with plaster relief. The entrance is flanked by colossi of Ramesses II, large sphinxes and smaller sphinxes holding vases. The dromos is lined by four hawk-headed sphinxes, which represent the King as a hypostasis of the different aspects of the god Horus in Nubia, and four human-headed sphinxes. The temple stands on a high terrace, and its courtyard, partially cut in the rock, is lined with statues of the King. This gives access to the pillared hall, in which the central aisle is also lined with statues. The sanctuary rooms, beyond the pillared hall, are all carved out of the hill. The quality of work at Wadi el-Sebua is generally good, although the stone is of poor quality. The last two temples of Ramesses II's reign, at Gerf Hussein and el-Derr, are of inferior workmanship. The temple at Gerf Hussein (now submerged beneath Lake Nasser) was slightly simpler in plan than Wadi el-Sebua, although it incorporated a new feature in the form of a series of six statue groups, set into niches in the hall. Most of the temple was excavated in the rock; the very poor quality of this stone is to some degree responsible for the coarseness of the work and the squat appearance of the carved figures.
