Ramses II the Great, Pharaoh

• ABOUT:
  • Every knee will bow: The temple built by Ramses at Wadi al-Sebua was converted into a church. The original carvings were largely retained. R. A. Lobban, Jr., writes: "One sees the ironic anachronism on the side walls of Ramses II making offerings to Christian icons plastered on the walls some 2,000 years later." [Hist. Dic. Anc. Med. Nubia, p. 402]
