The Ramesseum is a mortuary temple located in the Theban necropolis near Luxor, Egypt. Dedicated to Pharaoh Ramses II, it was built during the 19th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. The temple complex is renowned for its grandeur and architectural sophistication, featuring towering pylons, spacious courtyards, and an array of statues and reliefs that glorify Ramses II's reign and military victories. One of the most striking features is the massive fallen statue of Ramses II, which originally stood at about 18 meters tall.
