The Temple of Hathor, a photo from Aswan, Inland

Photographer's Note

This temple was built for the Queen Nefertari, preferred wife of Ramses II.
It is situated a few meters from the great temple of Abu Simbel.
4 of the 6 statues represent Ramses.
Inside the temple, the queen is represented as the goddess cow (!!) whose name is Hathor.

I will next post the view inside this temple.
