The lover king

 

"Nefertari" is the only wife of "Ramses II" who built a private temple for her next to his large temple in the city of Abu Simbel. He also built one of the most beautiful tombs on the western mainland in Luxor after her departure to confirm his loyalty and love.

 

Ramses II married Nefertari before he assumed the throne and chose her for her splendid beauty. Despite King Ramses II’s love for the queen, Nefertari, his love did not prevent him from getting married once and again because the queen was late in childbearing, even if she later bore him six sons Four males and two females, but none of them ascended the throne because they do not belong entirely to the royal blood.

 

Ramses II decided to build a temple (of Hathor) in Abu Simbel so that his wife could worship her beloved goddess "Hathor" because the main temple of "Hathor" is located in the city of Dendera, 100 km north of Luxor, so it was difficult for Queen Nefertari when coming to the area Abu Simbel and the Nuba to return quickly to Dendera tperform the rituals for her beloved Hathor.
