The legend says that the sun was created only for one purpose: to illuminate each morning the four giants statues of the Abu Simbel temple. These four statues are about 20 meters high, delicately hewn into the side of the mountain. Unfortunately one of them is damaged seriously but the temple’s architecture is worth to contemplate.
