The ancient Egyptian name 'The temple of a million years united with Thebes' refers to the fact that it was dedicated to the eternal memory of Ramesses II. For almost a century after the burial of Ramesses II in the Valley of the Kings, this temple served his funerary cult. The most significant event in the Egyptian ritual calendar was the annual festival visit of the god Amun to western Thebes. The god's statue travelled in his ceremonial bark from Karnak to the mortuary temples at the edge of the Western Desert, the Theban necropolis. The 'Ramesseum' pylon opened on to a broad court containing one of Egypt's largest free-standing statues. This monolithic granite colossus, originally 18 m in height but now fragmentary, represents the enthroned King and is inscribed with the name 'Ramesses, the sun for (all) rulers'. At the court's southern side, behind a double colonnade, lay the mud-brick balcony of the King's audience-hall (an exact copy of Sethos' hall) and beyond it the palace. Opposite this balcony, a row of piers depicted the deified king. Similar piers dominate the second smaller court with three ramps leading to the raised façade of the temple's interior. On the same level just to the north is the small independent temple (probably mortuary) of Ramesses' mother Touy, which was founded by Sethos I and rebuilt entirely by Ramesses II. The first hall inside the 'Ramesseum' is a smaller version of the Karnak 'Hypostyle Hall'. The function of the three succeeding halls, each provided with eight columns, is unclear. The first is famous for its ceiling, decorated with astronomical scenes. An innermost room, with four piers, was the final resting place for Amun's bark, and a nearby chapel was designed for the daily cult of the deceased king. The requisite offerings were prepared in some of the temple's southern rooms. The walled temple compound includes well-preserved, vaulted mud-brick magazines with administrative offices.
