The Ramesseum is the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramesses II (Ramesses the Great). It is located across the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. It was begun early in his reign, and took twenty years to complete. It was described by Diodorus as the 'tomb of Ozymandia' which inspired a verse by the great poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. The modern name "Ramesseum" was given by Jean-François Champollion, who visited the ruins of the site in 1829 and first identified the hieroglyphs making up Ramesses's names and titles on the walls. It was originally called the "House of millions of years of Usermaatra-setepenra that unites with Thebes-the-city in the domain of Amon". The temple was built too close to the Nile, and the river floods over time destroyed a great deal of it. This was our second trip to Egypt, and we have fond memories of
our first visit to the Ramesseum. Visiting it again with Hossam
opened our eyes to the grainery stores and the small temples that
we'd not focused on before.
