In the shadow of the Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel lies the smaller yet equally captivating The Small Temple of Abu Simbel {Temple of Hathor}, dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Queen Nefertari.
The Temple of Hathor at Abu Simbel, while smaller than its neighboring Great Temple, stands as a unique and profound testament to both the divine reverence accorded to Nefertari and the rich religious symbolism of the ancient Egyptian pantheon.
Again, just like Ramesses was depicted as a celestial king within the great temple, Nefertari is also depicted as a deified queen inside the temple of Hathor.
