View of the exterior of one of the temples at Abu Simbel, known as the Great Temple, with three seated pharaoh-like figures guarding the entrance to the rock temple. A fourth figure was largely destroyed, leaving only its legs. A native man sits on the foot of one of the stone sculptures, while another stands near the entrance.
