There are also six smaller pyramids honoring the queens; three are in front of the Cheops Pyramid and the others are in front of the Menkaure Pyramid.

    The tunnels beneath the Valley of the Kings are thought to be the pharaohs' afterlife region, where they journey as potential gods. According to Egyptian mythology, this is.

Before any temples were built, the land you travelled through was revered. It was constructed in honour of the regional goddess Hathor, a long-extinct Egyptian deity.

    Ramses II decided to build his temples here because of the scenic surroundings and convenient access to the Nile River. One can view the stunning scene from a distance. Your escorts to the temple entrance are four enormous Ramsis II sculptures that are buried deep within a huge mountain. Without a doubt, the temple was carved out of the rock.

    Ramses II frightened his adversaries when the sun twice year passed the temple. 
    He emphasized the beauty of ancient Egyptian civilizations in Egypt. 
    They allowed the sun to pass through the temple on two precise days each year, lighting up three statues. 
    Ramses II will be allowed to commemorate both his birthday and the day he overcame Egypt in his temple, according to the narrator's words, who claims the sun made this promise to him.
