Ramses Great Monuments

Ramses the 2nd built many great monuments and structures. Many mainly to remember him (the king of Egypt). Ramses believed that the more he built the more he would be remembered. Ramses even stole other structures from people and call them his..think that's crazy! Some of Ramses famous monuments were Abu Simbel,(right) Ramesseum, and the Temple of Ramses(left). These sights attract many visitors today and are unbelievable to see. Many of his citizen would have to work for him for he is the king. Abu simbel was built by Ramses in the 1200's B.C.. It was built into the mountain side with four 67 feet statues of Ramses.
