Archaeologists Discover What's Inside the Temple of Abu Simbel

Well renowned in history as a great builder, Ancient Egypt’s art, culture, and architecture thrived under Ramses II’s reign.

But nothing had been as awe-inspiring as the gigantic temples of Abu Simbel. Buried under centuries of sand, what is so unique about these temples?

Today we will be talking about the special power associated with the sacred entrance of the Temple of Abu Simbel, which not only has a history of rediscovery but also an episode of rescue.
