Located in the Theban necropolis in Upper Egypt across the river Nile from the modern city of Luxor, The Temple Of Ramesseum is the memorial of Pharaoh Ramesses II. It was dedicated to God Amon and the deceased king, but later many other kings also have superimposed monuments in the Ramesseum such as Memptah and Ramses III. It was built during the period 1304-1207 BC and is thought to inspire the poem ‘Ozymandias’ by English poet Shelly.
