Built
by Ramses II during the 19th Dynasty. The Rammeseum took 20
years to build and was a statement to the greatness of Ramses.
It is home to one of the largest and heaviest statues which
would have stood over 60 feet high and weighed nearly 1000
tonnes. It now lies in pieces on the desert floor of the Rammeseum.
However the site had been largely destroyed by an earthquake
and Nile flooding. But once again it is worth making a visit
just to walk around the stones and fallen columns.
