Temple of Ramesses II, Ancient religious complex in Abydos, Egypt

The Temple of Ramesses II contains multiple chapels, storage chambers, and carved reliefs depicting ceremonies across its limestone walls and columns.

The temple was built during the 19th Dynasty of Egypt as part of Ramesses II's extensive construction program, serving as a center for Osiris worship.

Religious ceremonies and offerings to Osiris, the god of the afterlife, took place within the temple's sacred halls throughout ancient Egyptian times.

The temple site opens daily to visitors, with guided tours available that explain the significance of the hieroglyphic inscriptions and architectural elements.

The temple features an astronomical alignment where sunlight enters specific chambers during particular dates, illuminating the sacred inner sanctuary.
