EGYPT - The Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel (Part 1)

Officially known as the Temple of Re-Harakhte (Re being the sun god), the main temple was dedicated to the pharaoh Ramses II and to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Harakhte, Amun-Re, and to Ramses himself. Filming is only allowed outside of the temple, so I attempted to capture the feel as one approaches it. This footage was recorded June 11, 2012.
