| This site is dedicated to
facilitating your dream tour of Egypt. The
Ramesseum, the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses the Great, is not so
complete as Medinet Habu (Ramesses III), but it has something
special. It has a huge, fallen colossal statue that inspired a
poem by Shelly. Well, actually, that is a supposition, and one of the
huge statues has been removed, but standing next to the remains of the
other is quite enough to see the point of the poem.
To get started on
that dream:
- Take the Virtual Tour of the
Ramesseum which is the Mortuary
Temple of Rameses the Great.
- Order the two recommended
guidebooks .
The
Penguin Guide to Ancient Egypt
Lonely
Planet Egypt: A Travel Survival Guide (4th Ed)
